Set back among the trees, this home feels like a serene treehouse, surrounded by nature. This stunning two-story residence offers an inviting and scenic living experience. This property, built in 2007, sits on the foundation of a building constructed in 1915. Due to Atlanta's 75-foot stream buffer regulation, the house occupies its original footprint. The main level boasts large glass windows that provide breathtaking views of an old lake, which was drained in 1930. The dam built for this purpose is still visible, with water flowing from a capped spring 200 yards east, past Fernbank Museum, through the Emory campus, and eventually joining the Chattahoochee River and the Gulf of Mexico. Located near the subcontinental divide, water on the other side of the nearby train tracks flows into the Atlantic. The heart of the home features an open floor plan that seamlessly combines the kitchen, dining, and living areas, all flooded with natural light from the numerous windows. On the right side of the main level, you'll find the primary suite, complete with an ensuite bathroom featuring a double vanity and glass shower. The left side of the home includes a half bathroom, a second bedroom suite with a daybed and an ensuite bathroom with a tub-shower combo, as well as a home office with a Murphy bed. Descending a spiral staircase to the second level, you'll find ample storage and laundry facilities, along with the entrance to a separate unit, added in 2023. This beautiful unit includes its own full kitchen, living area, bathroom, laundry, and a flex room with a desk and pull-out sofa. A bed can be arranged upon request, making this suite perfect for a nanny, assistant, guest, or as a private retreat. It has its own entrance and outdoor terrace for added convenience. Located in the charming Lake Claire neighborhood, this home borders Candler Park, Druid Hills, and Decatur, offering a prime intown location with easy access to all the amenities these areas provide. Lake Claire is a close-knit community known for its friendly neighbors, beautiful parks, and vibrant local culture. Candler Park, just next door, is renowned for its lush green spaces, playgrounds, and the iconic Candler Park Golf Course. Both neighborhoods offer a variety of dining, shopping, and entertainment options, making this an ideal location for those who appreciate a blend of urban convenience and natural beauty.
