A rare blend of understated luxury, comfort, and effortless intown living, this beautifully appointed 2-bedroom, 2-bath residence offers the gracious proportions of a private home with the ease of condominium living. Set within historic Druid Hills, the residence feels peaceful and private while placing Emory University, its medical campus, and many of Atlanta’s most desirable destinations close at hand. Thoughtfully improved over the years, the home reflects exceptional care throughout. Soaring ceilings, generous room proportions, abundant natural light, substantial millwork, upgraded lighting, custom built-ins, and refined finishes create interiors that feel polished without being formal. The spacious open living & dining areas offer room to settle in, entertain beautifully, and display art and furnishings on a scale rarely found in condominium living. The residence has been enhanced with a Lutron lighting system, custom bookshelf lighting, under-cabinet LED lighting, upgraded light fixtures & ceiling fans, Phantom Screens, and integrated AV features including a Sonos amplifier and Beam soundbar, adding convenience and functionality. The kitchen features a KitchenAid oven, Whirlpool dishwasher, newer garbage disposal, custom shelving, and under-cabinet lighting. The open layout connects easily with the principal living spaces while maintaining definition & warmth. The split-bedroom floor plan creates two distinct retreats, offering privacy for owners and guests with flexibility for an office or den. The primary suite is particularly impressive, with high ceilings, soft natural light, room for a substantial sitting area, and exceptional custom closet cabinetry providing beautifully organized storage. The renovated primary bath delivers a spa-like experience with dual vanities, custom cabinetry, a freestanding soaking tub, oversized glass-enclosed shower, contemporary fixtures, mirrors, and sophisticated finishes. The guest bath has also been refreshed with a marble countertop & sink, creating a polished second bath. Thoughtful conveniences continue with a dedicated laundry room with full-size washer & dryer and extensive cabinetry, along with abundant storage throughout. A new Trane HVAC system installed in 2026 provides added comfort and peace of mind. Equally compelling are the home’s private outdoor living spaces and connection to the surrounding landscape. Mature trees, established plantings, classic brick architecture, and secluded garden areas create an atmosphere that feels intimate and removed from the city. The covered outdoor space becomes a natural extension of the residence, ideal for dining, entertaining, reading, or enjoying quiet evenings surrounded by greenery. Landscaped community grounds and a swimming pool add to the relaxed, resort-like experience. The setting is difficult to duplicate. Located in Druid Hills directly across from Emory University’s main campus, School of Law, and medical complex, the residence also offers exceptional proximity to the CDC and Clifton Corridor. Emory Village, the Michael C. Carlos Museum, Fernbank Museum, Druid Hills Golf Club, Downtown Decatur, neighborhood dining, boutiques, parks, trails & cultural destinations are all nearby, with convenient access to Midtown, Buckhead & Downtown Atlanta. Secure building access and two secured parking spaces located on the same level as the residence complete a home designed for comfort, privacy, and convenience. More than simply a condominium, this thoughtfully renovated & meticulously maintained residence offers the scale, warmth, storage, technology, outdoor space & elevated finishes of a much larger home without the demands that typically accompany one. With a beautifully renovated primary bath, refreshed guest bath, custom storage and lighting, integrated smart-home and AV features, upgraded appliances, and a new 2026 Trane HVAC system, it offers a sophisticated yet comfortable lifestyle in one of Druid Hills’ most coveted settings.
