Property Description
An extraordinary estate on one of the most coveted streets in historic Druid Hills, this statuesque Georgian clapboard home is a rare masterpiece of architecture, history, and modern luxury. As one of the oldest homes in Druid Hills, its significance extends beyond its stunning presence—originally built by Asa Candler for his nephew, its legacy is deeply woven into Atlanta's rich past. A grand staircase leads to an impressive wraparound porch, offering multiple spaces for lounging and entertaining. Step inside to soaring ceilings, intricate dentil molding, and a breathtaking foyer that sets the tone for the home's timeless elegance. The expansive formal living room features an exquisite fireplace and opens to one of the side porches, while the dramatic dining room—anchored by another gorgeous fireplace—is designed for grand entertaining. Original architectural pocket doors add a touch of history and refinement. A grand hallway leads past a library/office (or additional bedroom) and into the phenomenal family room, where Nano Accordion doors, Gotham lighting, and a built-in Bose system create an effortless indoor-outdoor connection. The state-of-the-art kitchen is a chef's dream, boasting a three-paneled refrigerator, Wolf convection oven, BlueStar 8-burner stove, and a large walk-in pantry, all framed by the highest-quality custom cabinetry. Just beyond, an expansive mudroom offers additional cabinetry, a desk area, and generous storage. Upstairs, four oversized bedrooms—including a breathtaking primary suite—are complemented by three beautifully updated baths. The primary retreat overlooks the idyllic backyard, while the marble-clad spa-like bath is a sanctuary of luxury, featuring an oversized 4-valve shower with a tub-in-shower, a Moen digital control panel, heated floors, Robern lighted mirrors, and access to a spacious primary closet. Completing this estate is a charming carriage house above the garage, fully equipped with a kitchen, washer and dryer, full bath, and a lovely outdoor porch—perfect for guests or extended stays. Nestled on an almost-acre lot, the grounds are primed for a pool or any vision you desire. This remarkable property also offers unbeatable proximity to Druid Hills Golf Club, Emory Village, Emory University, CDC, Virginia Highland, and Poncey Highland, making it the ultimate blend of historic grandeur, modern sophistication, and an exceptional intown lifestyle.
