1275 The By Way NE isn't just a renovation -- it's a full reinvention, starting with the interiors. The chef's kitchen anchors a beautifully open main level with quartz countertops, new appliances, farmhouse sink, walk-in pantry, and mudroom. Original hardwoods, four fireplaces, ten skylights, and soaring ceilings carry warmth and light throughout every room. A sun-drenched reading nook and magazine-worthy primary bath with original stained-glass window are among the finishes that set this home apart. The split-level layout delivers something most homes can't: true functional separation. A private main-level office with full bath, built-ins, and fireplace works equally well as a guest suite, in-law quarters, or a dedicated work-from-home space -- with zero compromise to the main living areas. The lot is exceptional. A hardscaped patio perfect for entertaining gives way to a generous zoysia lawn, all set beneath the tree canopy that defines Druid Hills living. Two-car garage. Quiet, elevated setting above the street. The sellers have priced this to move and will consider all serious offers. A fully reinvented home at this level of finish in Druid Hills rarely comes to market -- and this one is ready to close. *Some exterior landscaping photos have been enhanced with AI*
