An extraordinary estate on one of the most coveted streets in historic Druid Hills, this statuesque Georgian clapboard home is a rare masterpiece of architecture, history, and modern luxury.

Original architectural pocket doors add a touch of history and refinement. A grand hallway leads past a library/office (or additional bedroom) and into the phenomenal family room, where Nano Accordion doors, Gotham lighting, and a built-in Bose system create an effortless indoor-outdoor connection.

The primary retreat overlooks the idyllic backyard, while the marble-clad spa-like bath is a sanctuary of luxury, featuring an oversized 4-valve shower with a tub-in-shower, a Moen digital control panel, heated floors, Robern lighted mirrors, and access to a spacious primary closet.
