Move in now, expand later. Opportunity awaits the intown Buyer with vision to transform a work-in-progress into their dream home. Start with a classic 1920s brick bungalow perched high on a corner lot in a fantastic neighborhood where historic Druid Hills meets Virginia-Highland. This very livable existing home offers 2 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, plus a 3rd bedroom and 3rd full bathroom in the finished studio space above a rare, oversized 2 car detached garage. View sunsets from the rocking chair front porch. Enter the main home to find 1-level living featuring hardwood floors, cozy living room fireplace, spacious kitchen with island, formal dining room with vintage chandelier, separate laundry/mud room, plus a vaulted sunroom that feels like a glass tree house. There's fresh interior paint, a new roof, and insulated replacement windows. The elevated corner home site provides an exceptional combination of natural light and interior privacy from surrounding greenery and windows well above street level. Then consider the possibilities of what could be. First, options abound in the surprisingly large volume dugout basement level ready for custom completion. This loft-like urban retreat has gloss epoxy on concrete floors, exposed masonry walls, daylight transom windows, a full bathroom, and an area to accommodate a kitchen. Bring your contractor and imagination to create what you've always wanted if you only had the space - separate entertainment/ recreation level, art/ music/ craft studio, personal yoga/ fitness center, serious workshop, deluxe home office, etc.. There's a private exterior entrance, with easy future access from the main level by rebuilding interior stairs. If you want to go big, imagine turning the unfinished attic into a complete second story expansion for the additional bedrooms, baths and upper living space you need. Current owners envisioned a 3-level, multi-generational family home, had custom architectural plans drawn, and their exterior changes were approved by the Druid Hills Historic Preservation Commission. But life changes ultimately left their grand vision unrealized. If desired, the Seller's design drawings can be included with the property purchase to inspire new Buyers to pursue their own dream. No lawn mower necessary for the existing lot. Multiple independent outdoor spaces can be reimagined in a future landscape plan, and there's room for a small pool. This is a great location in unincorporated DeKalb County, just outside the City of Atlanta line, that's so convenient to Va-Hi, Emory, CDC, Decatur, Midtown and Downtown ATL. A few remodel items remain for Buyer completion. This is a unique opportunity waiting to be seized by the discerning Buyer looking to bring their custom home ideas into living reality.
