This charming Tudor was completely renovated, including a new driveway. This five-bedroom, two-bathroom home offers the perfect blend of modern convenience and classic charm. As you step inside, you'll be greeted by an abundance of natural light flooding the space, highlighting the beautiful wide-plank French oak hardwood laid vertically throughout the first floor. The entrance welcomes you with a library, formal living room, and formal dining room, all seamlessly flowing into the pièce de résistance: an actual chef’s kitchen. Even if most of us may never cook with the flair of a five-star chef, it's exciting to experience a taste of that luxury in a chef’s kitchen. This isn't just any kitchen—it's a premium space designed by the German luxury kitchen connoisseur, Poggenpohl. What exactly does our chef’s kitchen offer? Naturally, all Miele appliances: four ovens, including convection and steam, for quicker, more efficient cooking; three stovetops: induction, gas, and Teppanyaki cooktop catering to every imaginable cooking need; a warming drawer to keep food hot; entirely modern cabinetry and downdrafts; multiple cutlery organizers to keep all your gadgets within easy reach; a center island fit for a king; and finally, Dornbracht faucets. Our biggest challenge was creating an open feel while respecting the home's period, which traditionally features separated spaces. We achieved this by designing a large open-concept kitchen, informal dining area, and TV lounge at the back of the house (adding 300 sq ft above the listed square footage). Complementing the kitchen, the ensuite bathroom features Turkish white marble and includes a bidet. Both bathrooms feature German Bodeloft sinks. This house also has space for you to add an upstairs suite. We haven't tackled the landscaping yet, so that's an exciting adventure awaiting you. This unbeatable location, right across from the Druid Hills Country Club and backing into Fernbank Forest, also straddles Emory Village and Decatur. It's within walking distance of Emory University and Hospital, numerous restaurants, shopping, parks, greenspaces, the Fernbank Museum, and much more!
