2812 Galahad Drive NE

Family roots go deep in this lovingly restored French Provincial four-sided brick ranch, perfectly situated in the sought-after Briarlake Elementary district for an effortless commute to Emory University, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), CHOA, and Midtown. Originally custom-built in 1962 for the owner's family and designed by nationally renowned architect W.D. Farmer, this residence has been meticulously renovated to new home standards while preserving its mid-century soul. The transformation begins at the lush, level front lawn framed by mature hardwoods and a circular driveway that leads to new double-glass entry doors. Inside, original 3/4-inch oak hardwoods have been refinished and extended throughout all living areas and bedrooms. The heart of the home is a re-imagined open-concept space where interior walls were removed to seamlessly connect the kitchen to the great room and adjacent sunroom. This chef's kitchen was gutted to the studs and rebuilt with shaker-style cabinetry, upgraded inserts, a walk-in pantry, sprawling quartz countertops, and a breakfast bar for informal dining. Professional-grade stainless appliances include a six-burner gas range, a dishwasher, and a Kraus composite undercounter sink. The spacious great room is anchored by an original fireplace featuring locally manufactured artisan brick and a custom wood beam mantel. From here, stroll into the oversized sunroom, where three walls of windows offer four-season views of the private, wooded 0.6-acre lot. This exterior sanctuary features a brand-new safety rail on the rear patio, a detached storage building for tools, and professional landscaping that emphasizes the property's natural elevation and privacy. Modern efficiency is at the forefront with new energy-efficient windows throughout and a 2024 HVAC system to lower your carbon footprint. All interior vent and return covers have been replaced to match the fresh aesthetic. Both bathrooms were completely gutted and rebuilt; the primary suite features a curbless walk-in shower with frameless glass, dual fixtures, and marble-topped vanities with Delta plumbing hardware. Beyond aesthetics, the home offers peace of mind with a completely new plumbing system, including new service lines for water and sewer. The original formal rooms flanking the entry foyer offer versatile flex space, ideal for a quiet home office or library, with the formal living room even offering potential for a third bathroom conversion. Practicality meets style in the renovated mudroom and laundry area, which features new ceramic tile and access to the side parking pad via a newly replaced door. A basement, accessed via an exterior door, provides additional storage or workshop potential. The home is further enhanced by fresh interior and exterior paint, new designer lighting, updated switches, new interior trim and new hardware on every door. This residence offers a rare opportunity to own a move-in-ready property with modern systems in an established neighborhood near premier shopping and dining at Northlake, Oak Grove, and Shallowford. For those seeking academic or medical proximity, this home provides a serene, private retreat just minutes from the city's major employment hubs and top-tier school options like Saint Pius, The Globe Academy, and IHM.
