Property Description

Nestled beneath a canopy of mature trees in the heart of historic Druid Hills on the quiet part of Emory Road, this home is the perfect blend of timeless architecture, thoughtful updates, and an unbeatable intown lifestyle. Surrounded by beautiful greenery and known for its welcoming neighbors and strong sense of community, this is the kind of home and neighborhood people rarely want to leave. From the moment you arrive, the home's classic curb appeal and inviting presence set the tone. Inside, generous living spaces offer exceptional flexibility for today's lifestyle, with up to six bedrooms and four full baths, including a spacious upstairs primary suite with a large walk-in closet. One of the main-level bedrooms is currently enjoyed as a comfortable media room, offering endless possibilities for living, working, or hosting guests. The true heart of the home may be the incredible screened porch, completed in 2023. Overlooking the lush, private backyard, it feels like an outdoor living room where you can enjoy morning coffee, evening dinners, or simply unwind while taking in the peaceful view, all without worrying about mosquitoes. The backyard itself is a rare retreat, offering exceptional privacy, mature landscaping, and plenty of room to garden, play, entertain, or simply relax beneath the trees. The updated kitchen flows easily into the main living spaces, while thoughtful improvements, including a tankless water heater, provide modern comfort and efficiency. Downstairs, the expansive unfinished basement offers tremendous storage along with additional flexible space currently used as a home office, giving future owners room to customize to their needs. Location is everything, and this one is difficult to surpass. Just a short stroll to Emory Village, Emory University, and nearby restaurants and cafes, you'll also enjoy quick access to the CDC, Fernbank Museum, Decatur Square, PATH trails, parks, Virginia-Highland, Midtown, and Downtown Decatur. Designed around the legendary vision of Frederick Law Olmsted, Druid Hills remains one of Atlanta's most cherished neighborhoods, celebrated for its winding streets, magnificent tree canopy, historic homes, and enduring sense of place.
