Property Description

"Something a little different" - that's how Leila Ross Wilburn described this exceptional home's Design #136, and 100 years later, it still holds. Set on a third of an acre in Historic Druid Hills, this Craftsman home has been meticulously maintained and restored with a commitment to exceptional artisanship and real livability. Original hardwood floors, crown molding, glass knobs, and two brick fireplaces ground it in 1921 - while a gourmet kitchen, whole-house generator, water filtration system, and updated systems carry it effortlessly into the present. The main level flows with intention. A formal dining room with crystal chandelier opens through original French doors to a gracious living room anchored by an original brick fireplace. Two sunrooms - a rarity at any price - complete the picture: the front, currently a den with heated tile floors and wraparound windows that flood the space with light; a second, a quiet sun-drenched escape to the side of the home. A dedicated office (easy conversion to 5th bedroom) with a second fireplace and custom built-ins makes working from home genuinely pleasant. Throughout, windows are double-paned historically accurate replacements that honor the original proportions while delivering modern performance. The gourmet kitchen truly delivers: oversized island with Thermador range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, custom wood cabinetry, two ovens, warming drawer, quartz countertops, two filtered-water sinks, and a pocket door to the dining room. The back entrance - conveniently positioned between the garage and fenced parking - includes a drop zone that handles the daily rhythm beautifully. On the main level, two bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, while another full bathroom combines original tile, premium updates, and charming wallpaper- 1921 meets 2026 in the most lovely way. Upstairs, the primary suite surprises with vaulted ceilings, a dramatic arched window, and a barrel-vaulted bath with soaking tub, dual pedestal sinks, and two custom walk-in closets. An additional bedroom - currently a nursery - works equally well as a home office or bedroom. An all-in-one laundry unit is also conveniently located upstairs, in addition to the full laundry on the main level. The basement is clean, dry, and offers ample storage. Outside: flat landscaped yard with playset, full-size pergola, perimeter fence and gate with remote access and keypads, an oversized 2.5-car garage plumbed for a second-floor ADU. Whole-house Generac (2021, warranty through 2027), whole-house water filtration, Trane HVAC with service contract, new roof 2017. A 5-minute walk to Emory Village. Druid Hills HS cluster. Some homes are restored, Some are renovated. This one has been both.
