OPEN SUNDAY 9/13 3-5PM - NEW PRICE on one of Druid Hills' true treasures. They don't make them like this anymore, and this one is move-in ready. Kitchen, all baths, and have been renovated and a new barrel tile roof was added to the main house and carriage house just two years ago, so the only thing you're inheriting here is the pedigree. "Boxwood" is a circa-1910 estate with a story as grand as its rooms. Born in the neighborhood's earliest era of great "country place" homes, it was designed by Atlanta architect Edward Emmett Dougherty, the talent behind the original Druid Hills Golf Club clubhouse. He built it for Coca-Cola executive Charles Veazey Rainwater, who helped bring the company's iconic contour bottle to life. Yes, that bottle. The scale says it all the moment you step inside. Soaring ceilings, grand formal rooms, multiple fireplaces and proportions modern construction simply can't replicate. Original architecture, updated infrastructure: a rare combination in a home this old. Then there are the grounds. Once part of a larger early estate celebrated for its gardens, Boxwood still unfolds in mature landscaping, terraces and sweeping lawns, framed by the lush boxwood plantings that gave the home its name. Outdoor living here is its own kind of luxury. The carriage house is fabulous in its own right. Two bedrooms sit above a four-car garage with original pine floors and 4 fireplaces, ready to become a guest retreat, a private office, or the creative studio you've always imagined. All of this just minutes from Emory University, the CDC, Paideia School, beloved Olmstead Linear parks, and the shops and restaurants of Virginia-Highland and Ponce City Market. Estates of this pedigree rarely surface. At this new price, Boxwood is a rare chance to claim a genuine Atlanta landmark.
