Druid Hills Real Estate

OPEN SUNDAY 9/13 3-5PM - NEW PRICE on one of Druid Hills' true treasures. They don't make them like this anymore, and this one is move-in ready. Kitchen, all baths, and have been renovated and a new barrel tile roof was added to the main house and carriage house just two years ago, so the only thing you're inheriting here is the pedigree. "Boxwood" is a circa-1910 estate with a story as grand as its rooms. Born in the neighborhood's earliest era of great "country place" homes, it was designed by Atlanta architect Edward Emmett Dougherty, the talent behind the original Druid Hills Golf Club clubhouse. He built it for Coca-Cola executive Charles Veazey Rainwater, who helped bring the company's iconic contour bottle to life. Yes, that bottle. The scale says it all the moment you step inside. Soaring ceilings, grand formal rooms, multiple fireplaces and proportions modern construction simply can't replicate. Original architecture, updated infrastructure: a rare combination in a home this old. Then there are the grounds. Once part of a larger early estate celebrated for its gardens, Boxwood still unfolds in mature landscaping, terraces and sweeping lawns, framed by the lush boxwood plantings that gave the home its name. Outdoor living here is its own kind of luxury. The carriage house is fabulous in its own right. Two bedrooms sit above a four-car garage with original pine floors and 4 fireplaces, ready to become a guest retreat, a private office, or the creative studio you've always imagined. All of this just minutes from Emory University, the CDC, Paideia School, beloved Olmstead Linear parks, and the shops and restaurants of Virginia-Highland and Ponce City Market. Estates of this pedigree rarely surface. At this new price, Boxwood is a rare chance to claim a genuine Atlanta landmark.

Real mid-century modern design, by noted architect Andre Steiner in Druid Hills, known today for its tree canopy and historic character. Come up the new driveway and the house sits low against the trees, brick and glass, built the way these mid-century homes were meant to be built: to blend into the lot instead of standing apart from it. Inside, a three-sided wood-burning fireplace anchors the center of the house, open between the formal living room and the dining room. In the living room, it sits in front of a full wall of glass that looks straight into the private front yard perched above the street. In the dining room, it's wrapped by floor-to-ceiling corner windows, glass running along two walls, framing a private backyard so you get the light and keep the privacy. A separate den, with built-in bookshelves, gives the house a third room to spread out in beyond the formal living and dining spaces. Original hardwood floors run throughout. The home has three bedrooms, two bathrooms with a one-car drive-under garage and a new driveway. The kitchen and bathrooms are original, untouched since the house was built, and that's the real opportunity here. Move in now, live with it as-is, and take your time turning it into the showplace this architecture was always meant to be. Steiner's work doesn't come up on the market often, and a house this intact, in a setting like this, is worth walking through in person.

A rare opportunity to restore and reimagine a distinctive 1928 residence with Tudor Revival architectural influences in Historic Druid Hills, just moments from Emory University. Tucked along quiet, tree-lined Ridgewood Drive, this character-rich home immediately stands apart with its handsome brick exterior, dramatic gables, half-timbered architectural detailing and arched sunroom windows, all framed by the mature tree canopy and established streetscape that make Druid Hills one of Atlanta's most treasured intown neighborhoods. The location is exceptional—a peaceful residential setting with Emory University, the CDC and Emory Village close at hand, along with nearby parks and trails, restaurants, shopping, Fernbank and Downtown Decatur. It is an increasingly difficult-to-find combination: a substantial historic-era home on a deep lot, on a quiet Druid Hills street, remarkably close to Emory. Offering four bedrooms and two and half baths with a separate shower, the existing residence has the space, character and bones to support a thoughtful, comprehensive renovation. The main level features a welcoming foyer, fireside living room, sunroom, large formal dining room, additional library or office, and a kitchen opening to a spacious rear family room with vaulted ceiling and a second fireplace. Upstairs is one of the home's most compelling features: all four bedrooms are located on the second level with full 9-foot ceiling heights, and hardwood floors extend throughout the entire floor. This provides an unusually strong starting point for reconfiguring the space to create a more contemporary bedroom and primary-suite layout while preserving the scale and character of the original home. Outside, a long driveway leads alongside the house to a wide, deep and remarkably usable backyard, creating exciting possibilities for outdoor living and a thoughtfully designed future expansion. A detached carriage house with utilities previously stood toward the rear of the property, adding another interesting chapter to the property's history and potential. Any future addition, accessory structure, pool or other improvements would be subject to applicable DeKalb County zoning, historic-preservation and permitting requirements. This is not simply a cosmetic-update property—it is an opportunity to thoughtfully restore and transform a substantial 1928 home in a location that cannot easily be replicated. The architecture, lot, street and setting are already here. Bring your architect, contractor and vision and create the next chapter of this special Druid Hills residence.

Druid Hills is an Atlanta Historic Intown neighborhood, prestigious and sought-after with renovated historic homes from the early 1900's and a small number of new construction homes build to blend with the existing homes; prices range on average from $1million to over $6million. Druid Hills is bordered on the south by historic Olmsted Park and is known for it's trees, parks, sidewalks, village and proximity to Druid Hills Golf Club, Emory University & Hospital and the CDC. This is an unusual opportunity to get three contiguous lots in Druid Hills which rarely has a lot available for new construction; the three lots have a total of 174 feet frontage and all are 217 feet deep; the individual lots are 56, 50 and 68 feet across the street frontage; the addresses for the 3 lots are 519, 523 and 527. The lots are street level, then dip down and then back up to the back of the lot, so a basement would be appropriate. There is a plat of the 3 lots included in this listing information. New construction in Druid Hills requires the approval of the Druid Hills Historic Committee. This sort of opportunity is an anomaly and unlikely to be available again.
