Set across from Druid Hills Golf Club with sweeping views of the golf course, and neighboring the Fernbank Museum of Natural History, 785 Clifton Road sits on a spectacular, flat 1.54-acre lot in one of Atlanta's most established neighborhoods. This 1929 brick estate offers a rare opportunity to create something truly special Intown. Inside, high ceilings, hardwood floors, and a sweeping staircase set a gracious tone, with a banquet sized dining room, a paneled family room, a formal living room, a sun room/office with full bath and five bedrooms upstairs. Outdoors, mature trees, a garden pond, a screened side porch, a carriage house, and a two-car garage create a private retreat. The home has passed through remarkably few hands in its lifetime. In a neighborhood defined by grand homes, 785 Clifton Road stands apart: a house that has been lived in, loved, and cared for continuously by the same family for 6 decades. Rich with period character and maintained over the years, it is ready for its next chapter.
