Folks, this one is special. First of all, it’s absolutely gorgeous inside and out– a classic 1936 Druid Hills brick Tudor with so many lovely architectural details! From the solid original entry door to the arched dining room entryway to the original tile in the bathrooms.... there is so much to appreciate. Anyone who walks through these rooms will be able to imagine this house as a home. As if the lovely interior is not enough, walking out the back door will seal the deal. The lot is absolutely stunning: a full half acre, beautifully landscaped. The original owners installed a brick barbeque, a koi pond, and a rose garden. Just a little TLC will bring these special features back to life. Finally, this is a house with history. The grandparents of the current heirs built the house, and four generations of the family have lived here. 595 Ridgecrest has never been on the market; whoever buys this 86-year-old beauty will be buying a home that has been well loved. 595 Ridgecrest presents so many exciting possibilities. For many buyers, this home is move-in ready, and will be perfectly comfortable for a new family. Other buyers may dream of renovating one or more areas of the home. The huge upstairs space can be re-imagined as a stunning master suite with plenty of room for a huge bath and closet as well as a large, comfortable bedroom. The perfectly adequate kitchen may see a modern update if so desired. Even more exciting are the possibilities for someone who may want to add to the home. The huge lot makes it easy to imagine a large addition at the back of the structure. Doing the comps will quickly help you understand that there is plenty of room to put equity into the home, as it is priced to accommodate future improvements. If 595 Ridgecrest looks like your dream home, ask your agent to schedule an appointment today!
