A Basement Level Workshop offers the perfect space for hobbyists, woodworkers, craftspeople, or collectors in need of a dedicated workspace or extra storage. Outside, the expansive yard offers endless possibilities for outdoor entertaining, lush gardens, a pool, or future additions while maintaining exceptional privacy. In addition to the Attached Garage, the property also features an Oversized Detached Two-Car Carport with an adjacent parking pad, providing three covered parking spaces plus ample off-street parking for guests or additional vehicles. The location is simply unmatched just seconds from Druid Hills Country Club, Heaton Park, Emory Circle, Emory University, the CDC, and some of Atlanta's most beloved dining and cultural destinations, with award-winning Fernbank Elementary just a short walk away.
