An extraordinary estate on one of Druid Hills' most iconic streets, this commanding Georgian clapboard home is a rare convergence of architectural pedigree, storied provenance, and modern sophistication. Among the oldest homes in the neighborhood, it was originally built by Asa Candler for his nephew, its legacy etched into the very fabric of Atlanta history. A gracious staircase leads to the wraparound porch-an expansive outdoor haven with multiple spaces for lounging, dining, and entertaining. Inside, soaring ceilings, intricate dentil molding, and a dramatic central foyer set an elegant tone. The formal living room, anchored by a stunning fireplace, flows effortlessly to a side porch, while the grand dining room-equipped with its own stately hearth-offers the perfect backdrop for unforgettable gatherings. Architectural pocket doors nod to the home's refined heritage. A long, gallery-style hallway passes a handsome office or potential guest suite before opening to the spectacular family room, where Nano accordion doors, Gotham lighting, and a built-in Bose system create seamless indoor-outdoor living. The adjacent chef's kitchen is a masterclass in function and form, featuring a three-paneled refrigerator, Wolf convection oven, BlueStar 8-burner range, large walk-in pantry, and bespoke cabinetry of the highest caliber. An expansive mudroom beyond adds storage, a built-in desk, and custom cabinetry. Upstairs, four oversized bedrooms and three beautifully renovated baths include a showstopping primary suite overlooking the backyard. The spa-like bath stuns with heated marble floors, Robern lighted mirrors, Moen digital controls, and a tub-in-shower with a four-valve system-paired with a spacious, thoughtfully designed walk-in closet. A fully equipped carriage house above the garage offers a charming retreat for guests, complete with kitchen, laundry, full bath, and a private porch. The nearly acre-sized lot is both private and level-ideal for a future pool or curated garden vision. Perfectly positioned near Druid Hills Golf Club, Emory University, Emory Village, the CDC, Virginia Highland, and Poncey Highland, this residence is the rare blend of historic legacy and contemporary luxury in one of Atlanta's most sought-after enclaves.
