1930 Durand Mill Drive NE

Set on a quiet cul-de-sac in Druid Hills, this handsome Durand Mill brick home pairs beautiful architectural details and generous proportions with wonderful natural light throughout. Dinner on the deck, a quick game on your own sport court, summer afternoons at the neighborhood pool—this home offers an enviable way to live intown. A soaring two-story foyer opens to bright, welcoming interiors with hardwood floors, substantial millwork and gorgeous designer lighting. The dining room has the scale for a full guest list, and the separate living room, with its handsome built-ins, offers a welcoming place to begin the evening. The family room is the architectural standout: a coffered ceiling overhead, a fireplace flanked by built-ins and a graceful row of arched windows framing the trees outside. It is a beautiful room with an easy, comfortable feel. Open to the family room, the kitchen features white cabinetry, a center island, double ovens and a sunny breakfast area. The layout keeps the cook in the conversation and gives everyday gatherings plenty of room. A separate, light-filled office provides privacy when the workday calls. The expansive primary suite offers a fireplace and ample space for a sitting area—a welcome place to close the door and settle in. Its large bath includes double vanities, a jetted soaking tub and separate shower, with a spacious closet featuring built-in organization. The finished lower level gives entertaining a setting of its own. An impressive bar anchors the generous great room and media area, ready for a crowd on game day or a quieter evening watching a movie. A separate playroom and dedicated gym round out a level with substantial space and everyday purpose. The expansive deck is a highlight, stretching across the back of the home with leafy views and generous space for outdoor dining and lounging. There is room to set a long table, pull up extra chairs and let dinner last a little longer. A screened porch offers a shady perch overlooking the yard, while a stone patio creates another inviting spot below. Mature trees and landscaping surround the fenced backyard with privacy, and the sport court is an exceptional addition—room for a few baskets before dinner without ever leaving home. Durand Mill’s pool, clubhouse, playground and park are part of what makes this neighborhood such a sought-after pocket of Druid Hills. Nearby Fernbank Elementary and convenient access to Emory, the CDC, Decatur and Midtown add substance to the address. A gracious brick home, a backyard worth coming home to and a neighborhood pool for the summer months—an especially compelling combination in the heart of Druid Hills.
