The best way to describe this special property is to tell its story. In 1923, two sisters and a brother built a Tudor Revival brick bungalow on a half-acre in Druid Hills. The three didn't get along so the brother built an Adirondack-Style cottage in the back yard for himself. In addition, there is a two-car garage, a parking pad for the cottage, a shed, a stone barbecue, and manicured gardens. When you enter the main house, the light-filled living room and dining rooms with their Tiffany finish plaster walls and period light fixtures evoke the early 20th century. At the center of the home is the renovated kitchen with a door to the driveway and to the basement. The primary suite on main is located at the back of the home. Two secondary bedrooms have access to relaxing outdoor spaces: a screened porch and a patio overlooking the back yard. Stroll down the handicapped accessible brick path from the garage to the cottage, passing specimen shrubs and garden beds planted with perennials and bulbs. Pause on the patio with its built-in seating before entering the cottage through a sunroom. Step back in time into the paneled living room with its massive granite fireplace and Prohibition Era built-in liquor cabinet. Beyond this spectacular room are two bedrooms and a bathroom, a steamer trunk repurposed to house the laundry, and a large kitchen with a walk-in pantry and views of another back yard and garden shed. With thoughtful attention to historic details, modern amenities, accessibility, and a new roof with 50-year warranty, this impeccably maintained and architect-designed restoration is a perfect example of bringing a historic home into the 21st century. Walk down leafy streets to Emory, hospitals, the CDC, Emory Village, parks, and schools. Please note: The total square footage includes both the main house and cottage/ADU.
