A Storybook Cottage in the Heart of Historic Druid Hills
Nestled on one of Druid Hills’ most beloved and secluded streets, this charming cottage feels like a hidden gem.
This home welcomes you with a spacious, sunlit living room featuring a cozy gas fireplace and built-in bookcases. Throughout the house, original hardwood floors add warmth and character, offering a timeless and comfortable atmosphere.
The formal dining room sets the stage for countless dinner parties and family gatherings, flowing effortlessly into a kitchen with Corian countertops, cherry cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a gas-powered range with a microwave. The ground floor of the home even includes two cozy bedrooms that share a full bath, creating the perfect space for guests, an extra bedroom, or a home office.
Upstairs, the spacious primary bedroom contains an ensuite bath and an expansive walk-in closet. This floor features two additional bedrooms, a shared bathroom, and a laundry room, offering a balance between private and shared living spaces.
This cottage features a garage and an unfinished basement, providing ample storage space. Additional home features include a recently upgraded, zoned HVAC system and Nest thermostat for each floor, a tankless water heater, and an ADT security system, ensuring comfort and peace of mind.
Through the dining room doors, there is an elevated balcony that serves as a private treehouse and the perfect outdoor haven whether you’re curled up on the swing bed with a book, dining under the stars, or hosting friends for cocktails. This balcony overlooks the backyard, featuring an award-winning camellia grove that blooms beside stone walking paths and a canopy of old-growth trees, providing shade and privacy. Below the balcony lies a patio space and a fenced backyard that includes a charming swing set and a seating area perfect for chairs and a fire pit.
The home’s location is within walking distance of Princeton Way Park, which offers a playground, additional walking trails, and a picnic area for barbequing. Emory University, Emory Village, the CDC, Druid Hills High School, and the trails of Lullwater Park are only a few blocks away. Near Downtown Decatur, Virginia-Highland, and the Atlanta Beltline, this home offers the city’s community, charm, and convenience.
