Perched on the hillside of Sterling Street, stone and lush landscaping lead you up to the restored front porch of this thoughtfully renovated Craftsman bungalow. The expansive covered porch showcases rich tongue-and-groove wood flooring and a classic beadboard ceiling - the perfect spot for morning coffee or watching the neighborhood go by. The Arts & Crafts front door is a true show-stoppper, flanked by stunning leaded and stained glass sidelights. Inside, the main level offers three bedrooms, including a primary suite that feels like a true retreat. The spa-inspired bath features handcrafted Zia Zellige tile, a 72-inch double vanity, a rain shower, and a freestanding soaking tub, plus two custom closets with floor-to-ceiling built-in storage. A well-appointed hallway, with custom wainscoting, designer wallpaper and lighting, leads to the two additional bedrooms and secondary bath. One bedroom offers a quiet retreat, while the other overlooks the backyard, with tall built-in bookshelves framing the windows and a dramatic pop of color. The secondary bath carries a retro charm, beautifully maintained with timeless character. The fully renovated chef's kitchen is a showpiece in its own right, with bespoke wood cabinetry, quartz countertops and a full-height quartz backsplash, a farmhouse sink, custom open shelving, a large walk-in pantry, and a beadboard-clad island with classic charm and room for casual seating. Unlacquered brass fixtures lend warmth and old-world character. Just off the kitchen, a full-size laundry room offers custom wood shelving and storage, with wallpaper that adds a touch of designer flair. Another great feature of this home: Two distinct living spaces. Up front, a cozy living room centers on a wood burning fireplace, while a family room at the back of the home opens onto the brand-new back porch and idyllic backyard - perfect for everyday flow or hosting a crowd. Upstairs, a versatile bonus room offers even more flex space, or a 4th bedroom, with windows overlooking the backyard, plus attic space ready for storage or additional expansion. Outside, the curb appeal matches the interior: fresh paint, and a driveway widened for easy SUV access. The private backyard features a brand-new deck, an adorable stone patio, and mature trees and lush plantings like an English garden. And the location can't be beat - so close to Candler Park's green space in one direction and the always-vibing village of Little Five Points in the other. Whether a walk to the farmers market and brunch is your weekend vibe, or music and cocktails, you've got all you need right here. You're also just a few blocks from Freedom Park and the PATH Trail, and about a mile to the heart of Inman Park's vibrant scene and the Atlanta Beltline. From there, you can be anywhere in Atlanta in no time. This is more than a home - it's a sanctuary in the city, where historic character and thoughtful renovations come together to create something truly special. Welcome home.

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 $1 million to over $6 million. 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.

In a world full of fake nails, Botox, and fast fashion, you crave something real. Something timeless. Something that feels authentically you. You zig when others zag. You like your life like your coffee, warm, sweet and occasionally served after 3 p.m. You've never followed the crowd, so while everyone was panic-buying during COVID, you watched from the sidelines, sipping lavender lattes and waiting for your moment. Well, it's here. Your landlord's raising the rent (again), and suddenly it clicks: it's time to plant roots and water your own garden. You don't need a five-bedroom McMansion. You need cozy. Mid-century modern. Happy. A backyard with a massive covered patio. One night, mid-scroll under the covers, your BFF texts "OMG. HAVE YOU SEEN THIS ONE?" (link to @domoRealty IG feed) "You NEED to buy it so we can throw epic parties under that covered patio!" You squint "But it's OTP?"... "Exactly!" She texts back "Because if it was ITP, you couldn't afford it." You laugh. But now you're not sleeping. Next morning, you pull up. It's got that look. That "I've been here since 1959 and still look good in photos" energy. Tucked away on a private lot. A low pitch roof. Vaulted ceilings. The place smells like new beginnings. It feels like home. There's even room for your friends to crash on the weekends or let them rent out a room and they can help pay for the mortgage. You peek at the price. No typo. No time machine. You crunch the numbers. 10% down, plus taxes and insurance? It's basically what you pay in rent... except now you'd own. You'd be close to Buford Highway's best bites, minutes to I-85 and I-285, and most importantly, your monthly payment is going towards your own future instead of your landlord's next beach house. The details in the listing make it all the better: A new TPO commercial grade roof (The Rolls Royce of flat roofs). Wood floors. A Separate laundry room and space for a workshop or extra storage. Thirty days later, you're chillin' and grillin' under the back covered patio. Margarita in hand. Fajitas sizzling. Your BFF lounging on the new outdoor furniture you just bought. The smell of citronella filling the air. Sparky running around in the fenced back yard with his favorite tennis ball in his mouth and no noisy neighbors stomping overhead in their clear platform shoes. You are so glad you found this one when you did. Nothing feels better than being home. This is home. And it looks damn good on you.
