Step into a world of timeless elegance in this regal historic home in the heart of Druid Hills, where soaring ceilings, grand proportions, and refined details create a truly unforgettable first impression. From the vaulted, light-filled entrance to the beautifully maintained hardwood floors, every corner of this exquisite residence exudes character and sophistication. The main level offers an effortless flow anchored by a gracious formal living room with a fireplace and idyllic views to the lush front yard. A versatile bonus room serves perfectly as a library, office, or guest suite, with a full bath/powder room thoughtfully positioned nearby. The showstopping kitchen is a dream for both everyday living and entertaining—featuring polished marble countertops, a herringbone marble backsplash, Visual Comfort lighting, inset cabinetry, Wolf appliances, and a Sub-Zero refrigerator. The expansive dining area is perfectly placed, offering seamless connection to the kitchen and living spaces. Upstairs, discover four spacious bedrooms and four full baths, including a jaw-dropping primary suite with a vaulted ceiling, herringbone marble fireplace, serene backyard views, and exquisite natural light. The primary bath is equally stunning, featuring a soaking tub, marble shower, designer lighting, and dual closets. Down the hall, a generous laundry room with built-in storage adds both convenience and style. Additional bedrooms include one with an en suite bath and two that share a beautifully appointed jack-and-jill bath with double vanities. Outside, the magic continues with a beautifully landscaped, oversized backyard, a two-car garage, and a framed-out carriage house ready to become the perfect guest retreat or au pair suite. All of this, perched just across from protected Emory Woods, where leafy walking paths and a tranquil creek await. Enjoy walkability to Emory Village’s beloved local spots including Savi Market, Studio Pilates, Double Zero, Wagaya, Starbucks, and more—with easy access to Emory, CDC, Virginia Highland, and beyond. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Druid Hills history, masterfully updated for modern living. Welcome home.
