Urban Forest Mod - the title bestowed upon this Prize Winning Design and Rebuild by JonesPierce in 2019 on an acre+ lot with Fernbank Forest as your back yard neighbor, on a cul-de-sac, with maximum privacy and top quality design and construction. This erudite work of art is one of the most well executed examples of mid-century/modern design available on the market today - truly One of a Kind! Even if you're not looking for a new home, this one might change your mind. As you enter, the main floor offers a wall of windows with a view of the back yard, terrace and PebbleTec pool, complimented by a backdrop of verdant woods. The discerning design is open, yet with sufficient separation to provide an entry foyer, living room, kitchen including a chef's dream island, gourmet appliances, a walk-in pantry/caterer's kitchen, wet-bar and a top-of-the line Italian pizza oven. Entertaining will be a delight with the dining room open to the view and the walkout deck with grill. The main floor also includes three bedrooms/office/study and full bath. The open staircase delivers you to the next floor up with a generous primary suite, luxury spa bath with steam shower and heated floor, closet with built-ins, convenient laundry and a private lounge overlooking the pool view. The terrace level enjoys a bedroom suite with full bath or auxillary space for whatever your needs might be. You can walk-out to the covered terrace, relax and enjoy the pool and view. There is also a connected garage with EV charger, dumbwaiter to kitchen, and mudroom with cubbies and spotless utilitiy rooms. This Intown location can't be beat; Fredrick Law Olmsted's historic park entrance is at the end of the street; you are surrounded by neighborhoods with abundant amenities - restuarants, shops, parks, greenspace, gyms, award winning schools; Druid Hills Golf Club is down the street; Emory University, CDC, Schwartz Arts Center are only blocks away; easy access to interstates, and the airport is less than 30 minutes away. Come live your best life in this sublime architect-designed home and grounds in sought-after Druid Hills!
