Welcome to a rare opportunity in historic Druid Hills — a beautifully situated home bordering the prestigious Druid Hills Golf Course. Set gracefully above the street and surrounded by mature landscaping, this residence offers exceptional privacy and peaceful, seasonal views of the course.
Thoughtfully designed for both beauty and function, the home features gracious proportions, refined architectural details, and a floor plan that flows effortlessly. A dramatic two-story foyer welcomes you with light and volume, crowned by a wide, curved upper landing that elegantly overlooks the space below — a stunning architectural statement.
The kitchen is a true showstopper, featuring ample custom cabinetry, a 60" gas range with dual ovens, an oversized copper sink, a prep island with second sink, and rich granite countertops. A sun-drenched breakfast nook overlooks the backyard creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection.
Beautiful hardwood floors, custom millwork, and abundant natural light carry throughout the home. The light-filled primary suite serves as a private sanctuary, complete with its own fireplace, a spacious sitting room, and a walk-in closet.
Ideal for entertaining, the home offers multiple gathering spaces:
A fireside living room, formal dining room bathed in natural light, featuring French doors, two rounded Palladian windows, original built-in corner china cabinet and elegant glass pocket doors.
A richly appointed wood-paneled judges’ study original to the home with it's own fireplace — one of the most inviting rooms in the home!
Additional highlights include:
A detached 2-car garage with additional attic storage with workshop or flexible space. This structure includes a back deck with pergola overlooking the golf course.
Original blueprints, site surveys, and historic garden records to convey with the home. This includes
professionally designed garden and landscape plans highlighting the full potential of the .45-acre lot.
This is a home where timeless architecture is complemented by refined, well-executed updates — all thoughtfully designed to preserve its original elegance and lasting appeal. — All this located in one of Atlanta’s most cherished neighborhoods.
