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.
