1903 Ridgewood Drive NE

You know at first glance this Tudor Revival cottage is special. Its brick and granite façade with diamond pane casement windows, catslide roof, and arched front door with wrought iron hardware hint at the historic details inside. Enter into the living room with its original oak floors, arched doorways, and massive granite fireplace. Off the living room, a light-filled sunroom with original tile floor would make a perfect office. A wide galley kitchen connects to the dining room and the family room. French doors in the family room open to a generous patio and professionally landscaped back yard, making entertaining a pleasure. But don’t mistake “cottage” for “small” because this home has four bedrooms and four bathrooms. The spacious primary suite and two secondary bedrooms are on the main floor, and the fourth bedroom suite is upstairs. Above the two-car garage is a legal one-bedroom apartment. While this 95-year-old home has been thoughtfully preserved and expanded, its systems have also been well maintained. The basement is fully encapsulated; the roof, two HVAC systems, water heater, and water line are all six years old or newer. Steps from Emory University, the CDC, and the shops and restaurants of Emory Village, 1903 Ridgewood provides the best of historic Druid Hills living.
