It's not everyday an impeccably restored and architecturally significant property comes on the market in Atlanta, let alone a modern design in the prestigious Druid Hills neighborhood. Welcome to 1173 The By Way, a stunning 1975 modern home originally designed by an Atlanta architect and lovingly restored by the current owners; a craftsman and designer with help from the award winning architectural firm, Lightroom, and award winning landscape architecture firm, CORE. The restoration and remodel of this home placed it in the top three finalists for the 2019 AIA Residential Design Awards. The By Way features many handmade furniture pieces like shelves milled from a white oak tree on the property, and newly refinished solid white oak flooring. Enjoy the entertainer's kitchen with marble counters, top of the line appliances, and walk-in pantry with custom storage system. Flow to the lofted open living and dining space with original 70's fireplace and floor to ceiling windows. The master suite level fits a king bed with room to spare. The master bathroom has a custom handmade mirror and vanity, marble counter and rainfall shower as well as a custom walk-in closet that is conveniently located next to the spacious laundry room. From the master level you are a few steps away from the roof deck where you can lounge and feel amongst the trees. The lower level has two large bedrooms with built-in desks, large custom closets and a double sink bathroom great for sharing. The fully finished basement level has an inlaw suite with separate entrance as well as a flexible space that is currently used as a bedroom but could be a great den. New roof deck membrane in 2023 and newly painted and refinished inside and out. The property sits on a large historic Druid Hills lot and is on a long, well lit driveway meticulously maintained with grand white oaks that shade the property in the hot Atlanta summers. Separate from the main house is an unheard-of for-the-city 2.5 car garage with custom glass door, built in storage and wired for your electric car charger. Have a hobby or need an amazing work-from-home space? You'll love the incredible double height accessory dwelling with separate entrance and plumbing. Outdoor living at its finest, the spacious patio boasts a fireplace and lawn. Walking distance to Emory Village, Virginia-Highland, Ponce Linear Parks, popular restaurants and shops. If you are looking for a meticulously maintained, award winning home in the prettiest neighborhood in Atlanta, you have come home.
