A Historic Druid Hills Treasure with Modern Luxury. Nestled in the heart of the highly sought-after Historic Druid Hills neighborhood, this one-of-a-kind 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom home is the perfect blend of timeless charm and modern comfort. Built over a century ago and masterfully renovated in 2015, it sits gracefully on an immaculate 1+ acre lot offering unmatched privacy, serenity, and elegance. From the moment you arrive, the historic curb appeal draws you in—from the European architectural details to the original door hardware—while inside, the fine finishes in the kitchen and baths elevate every space. The chef’s kitchen is a showstopper, featuring marble countertops and backsplash, commercial-grade stainless steel appliances, and thoughtful design that makes both cooking and entertaining a joy. The home’s high ceilings (rare for the era) and abundant natural light enhance the open-concept floor plan. The dining area easily accommodates a 10-person table, while the indoor-outdoor flow is ideal for gatherings. Step into the screened porch with iconic terra cotta tile, or onto the back deck overlooking your private, manicured backyard—flanked by Emory-owned land on two sides for unbeatable seclusion. The main level hosts three spacious bedrooms, two full baths and a laundry closet. Upstairs is a true owner’s retreat, complete with a sun-filled primary bedroom offering tranquil views of the grounds, a cozy sitting area, dual walk-in closets (including a converted bedroom), and a spa-like marble ensuite with a soaking tub, double vanity, and walk-in shower. The walkout basement is an opportunity waiting to be customized—already outfitted with a workshop, full kitchen cabinets, countertop, and sink (appliances needed), bathroom with walk-in shower, laundry room, and private entrance. Perfect for an in-law suite, guest quarters, or rental space for an Emory professor or grad student. Additional highlights include a tankless water heater for endless hot water, a gas fireplace in the living room, and the perfect location—just one block from Emory University, Emory Village, and moments from Atlanta’s best dining, parks, and cultural destinations. Make sure to schedule your showing today as 1512 Emory Road is more than a home—it’s a piece of Druid Hills history, reimagined for today’s lifestyle and it will not last on the market long.
