An incredible opportunity to own a private one-acre property in the prestigious Historic Druid Hills neighborhood. Situated on a flat, expansive lot, this home offers the perfect blend of move-in-ready updates and future potential in one of Atlanta’s most sought-after locations. Located directly across from the beautiful Deepdene Park, residents enjoy immediate access to one of the most beloved green spaces in the area. The park features scenic walking trails, a peaceful creek, historic stone bridges, and a wooded setting that feels like a private nature preserve right outside your door—perfect for morning walks, biking, or simply enjoying the outdoors. Historic Druid Hills itself was masterfully planned by renowned landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted, whose visionary work shaped some of the most iconic landscapes in America, including Central Park and the grounds of the Biltmore Estate. His design philosophy emphasized winding roads, expansive parkways, and preserved natural landscapes—elements that continue to define the timeless beauty and prestige of Historic Druid Hills today. The home features numerous upgrades, including a new roof, new insulation, updated windows, new plumbing, new electrical, and beautiful hardwood floors throughout. The kitchen is well-appointed with stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, and a gas KitchenAid range—perfect for everyday cooking and entertaining. The bathrooms showcase elegant finishes, including marble tile and a newly reglazed primary bathroom. Functionality meets convenience with a laundry closet on the main level and a separate laundry room toward the rear of the home. Step outside to the amazing covered back porch featuring charming broken terracotta tile flooring—an ideal space for relaxing or entertaining while overlooking the large private backyard. Additional features include a one-car carport and a dedicated parking pad. The location is truly unbeatable, just a stone’s throw from Downtown Decatur, Emory Village, and the historic Druid Hills Golf Club, with easy access to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Emory University, Toco Hills, and Candler Park. Several nearby parks and green spaces make this an excellent location for anyone who loves the outdoors. This exceptional lot presents a rare opportunity for buyers looking to enter the prestigious Historic Druid Hills neighborhood. The seller believes the home is not designated historic, potentially allowing for redevelopment and the chance to build a custom dream home on this incredible property. Opportunities like this are rare—schedule your showing today before it’s gone.
