Custom designed in 1915 by the preeminent Architect of the time, Neel Reid, this statuesque home and property are a prime opportunity to enjoy one of Druid Hill's best examples of renown architecture complimented by today's taste and lifestyle. Impeccably updated, the home provides 3 stories of graciously scaled rooms, separate carriage house with apartment and an acre of manicured lawn and gardens. The generous kitchen with all the requisite bells and whistles includes a "heart of the home" island and back kitchen/butler's pantry; the fireside family room is open to the kitchen and transitions seamlessly to the patio and walkout back yard which fill the panoramic view; the main floor also enjoys an impressive entry foyer with Neel Reid's signature symmetry and architectural detail, graceful living and dining rooms, an enticing sun room, study/office and powder room. The second floor provides a reclusive primary suite with dual closets, spa bath and spectacular view; there are 3 additional bedrooms on the second floor, one with an ensuite bath and the other two with a joint bath. The third floor is a secret retreat with a den and bedroom while the finished space in the basement includes an exercise area and wine storage. The carriage house has a recently renovated apartment with living room, dining, kitchen, bedroom, bath, laundry and porch overlooking expansive back yard. The garage provides parking for 2 vehicles, while the carport encompasses 2 additional spaces. Come live in the verdant neighborhood of Druid Hills which offers nearby award-winning schools, proximity to Emory Village, Emory University and the CDC, Druid Hills Golf Club, historic Olmsted Park, easy access to all Intown amenities, major highways and 20 minutes to Hartsfield Airport. This is a wonderous home, filled with architectural integrity and whimsey; don't miss this unusual opportunity.
