Welcome to 1496 Fairview Road, located in the esteemed Druid Hills Historic District. This property embodies early 20th century architecture while having received thoughtful restoration over the past 15 years. You will love the charm and character this home exudes, from spacious niches, arched entryways and 10 foot ceilings, to inviting rooms with elegant picture rails - waiting for you to add your own pop of color and texture. Hardwood floors throughout and floor to ceiling windows provide abundant natural light. A beautiful sunroom is just off the living room, where you will enjoy sun-dappled afternoons. Create a work-from-home space or the perfect reading room - your choice! An airy screened porch opens from the dining room with incredible tile design providing seasonality all year long. The kitchen boasts granite countertops, handsome espresso cabinets and stainless steel appliances with double french doors and transom carrying you through to an expansive side deck perfect for summer soirees and grilling extravaganzas. The primary bedroom is tucked away on the back of the home with dual doors opening to your own private deck and a landscaped stream and pond, where flowing water will lull you as you lounge in a hammock, creating a perfect oasis. The ensuite bathroom is replete with dual sinks, separate tiled shower and soaking tub with not 1, not 2 but 3 walk-in closets for all your storage dreams. A two car garage offers an ideal guest suite approximately 500 SF and includes its own half bath large enough (and already plumbed) to accommodate a shower if desired. The space also has a separate wet bar, mini fridge, and large counter with ample cabinet storage below. Finally, the grounds of this property are a gardener's dream. Azaleas surround the property and provide a sea of color in the spring. Four varieties of Japanese maples and a ginkgo tree offer fall highlights. The zoysia lawn is golf green level perfection. Giant beds of ferns, iris, hydrangeas, and hostas surround the house. There is literally something blooming year-round. Close to Emory, Decatur, Inman Park, VA-HI, Lake Claire, Candler Park, shops, restaurants, parks, public and private schools plus everything intown has to offer - this home is waiting for its newest homeowners! Property being sold AS-IS.
