The original client was S. J. West of West Lumber, Druid Hills was the most prestigious neighborhood in the city and Lewis Crook (architect) and his partner Ernest Ivey (engineer) were the sought-after Design/Build firm of the day. An unusual design for an historically significant residence, this home provides the opportunity for one level living with two primary suites and a third bedroom on the main floor, along with the complement of European influenced architectural details like soaring ceilings, thoughtfully considered wainscoting and masterful woodwork, a slate roof, original hardware, sun-filled windows and airy rooms designed with the perfect ratio in mind. Add the artfully created one acre landscaping and gardens, and you have the home of your dreams. Twice featured on the Druid Hills House and Garden Tour, the residence has been meticulously maintained with discerning updates for 21st century living, including kitchen, baths and utilities. The main floor offers gracefully proportioned living and dining rooms, a family room, study/office, kitchen with keeping room, pantry and laundry, 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. Completing the package is a temperature controlled attic with endless possibilities for expansion, a basement with potential for other opportunities, and a carriage house with office, kitchen, bedroom, bath and back porch overlooking the gardens. Nestled in the heart of verdant Druid Hills with award winning schools, live the lifestyle that Intown Atlanta offers with Emory Village, Emory University & CDC a block away; nearby are Olmsted's Historic Park and all the amenities offered by the local neighborhoods including restaurants and shops, Ponce City Market, the Arts Center in Midtown and 20 minutes to Hartsfield Intl Airport. Come experience the tranquil privacy while you linger on the back terrace and listen to the babble of the fountains and enjoy the view!
