Welcome to this enchanting, completely renovated brick cottage in the heart of Druid Hills, perfectly located with a short stroll to Emory Village and Emory University. This home radiates charm and sophistication, boasting an array of premium updates, including a new roof, newly installed light fixtures in every room, lush landscaping, and beautifully remodeled baths. The meticulously renovated kitchen opens to the family room and features new quartz countertops, island seating, stylish backsplash, modern appliances, farmhouse sink, and designer-sourced light fixtures. Culinary enthusiasts will revel in this state-of-the-art kitchen, outfitted with a Wolf range, a Bosch dishwasher, two KitchenAid ovens (one large, one dual convection oven+microwave), and a warming drawer. The three luxurious bathrooms have been thoughtfully updated to ensure a spa-like experience. The outdoor space is a true gardener’s paradise with expansive vegetable garden beds, alongside practical outdoor storage sheds. Entertain effortlessly under the patio string lights amid mature landscaping that graces both the front and backyard, accentuated by professionally installed landscape lighting. The entire backyard is securely fenced (perfect for keeping your furry friends safe), and features a customized playground with mulched areas. Inside, every detail has been thoughtfully curated, from the built-in bar with a wine fridge to the built-in shoe cubbies and storage near the kitchen door. The primary suite boasts California Closet built-ins, while the guest bedroom on the main includes a custom closet system. The den features hand-crafted floating wooden shelves, and the enormous basement offers versatile space for storage, or a potential build-out. The primary bedroom is a gorgeous, light-filled retreat with an opulent en-suite bath featuring gleaming marble, a luxurious shower, and a lovely soaking tub. The second floor features a wonderful bonus area, perfect for a home office or playroom, alongside two well-appointed spare rooms that share a stylish bath. A fantastic guest bedroom on the main floor, complete with access to a full bath, offers ideal accommodation for visitors. The home also features an idyllic screened-in porch with French doors, a large dining room, and two wonderfully functioning living spaces. Perhaps the most riveting feature of this house is its undeniable curb appeal that often causes passerby to slow down and stare in appreciation – it's truly special. Start your mornings with a serene coffee on the screened-in porch overlooking the protected Emory Woods, and enjoy leisurely strolls to Emory Village, home to Savi Market & Wines, Studio Pilates, Starbucks, CVS, and delightful dining options like Double Zero and Wagaya Sushi. Directly across the street, discover wooded walking paths and a tranquil creek. This home is nestled in a vibrant community with wonderful, friendly neighbors and children of all ages. Completely renovated throughout, it exudes that elusive, magical feel that is challenging to find these days, making it the perfect blend of convenience, luxury, and neighborhood charm. Welcome home!
