NEW PRICE exceptional value in Historic Druid Hills. Recently appraised at $945,000. Completely reimagined through an extensive down-to-the-studs, fully permitted renovation with Historic Preservation approval, this 1950 bungalow combines the character and setting of an established Druid Hills home with the systems, finishes and functionality of a newly renovated property. Set on a beautiful 0.33-acre corner lot, the property carries a Briarcliff Road address, but its driveway and everyday entrance are located on quiet residential N Emory Place. The home's positioning and the natural slope of N Emory Place create a private, elevated setting surrounded by mature trees. One of the home's standout features is its expansive rear deck with Trex decking and outdoor living space. Step outside and enjoy an open, tree-filled outlook that feels private. The approximately 14,375-square-foot lot offers a fenced backyard, firepit area, expansive deck and plenty of space for entertaining, dining or simply enjoying the peaceful, wooded surroundings. Inside, virtually every major component has been thoughtfully renewed, including new electrical, plumbing, HVAC, energy-efficient windows and a tankless water heater. Vaulted ceilings, skylights and 3.5-inch white oak hardwood floors create a bright, open interior, while designer tile throughout the bathrooms and a custom fireplace add distinctive finishing touches. The beautifully designed kitchen features custom inset oak cabinetry, quartz countertops and Samsung appliances and flows naturally into the living and entertaining spaces. A dramatic sunroom wrapped in floor-to-ceiling glass brings in exceptional natural light and creates a seamless connection between the interior and the home's lush surroundings.
