About this home

Welcome to Livingston Cottage! An enchanting and incredibly rare home ensconced within its own quarter acre "private arboretum"! Located literally a stone's throw from Emory University's Clifton campus and priced to target the lucky buyer seeking an updated classic home in an abundantly walkable and safe historic neighborhood. The property is tucked away on a quiet street and utterly dripping with charm! Truly a nature lover's home; flooded with natural light, heirloom landscaping, pathways and arbors. Inside you will find glowing original heart wood floors, an open floor plan, clean updated kitchen and two complete en-suites. During an extensive renovation, a (previous) third bedroom was converted to a den to allow for a walk-in master closet and central half bath. At 15' width, there is amble space for a king-size bed with flanked with bedside tables and...direct access to a secured, private courtyard! In addition to a cleverly laid-out floor plan, this remarkable gem has its own mini ADU! Unheard of at this price -particularly in prestigious Druid Hills! Separated by a covered breezeway is a spacious, climate-controlled, single-room dwelling with windows on all four sides! Make it your vinyl listening room, a craft / pottery shop or home office! This turnkey treasure has numerous updates (very recent roof, HVAC, updated electrical, etc) and will be someone's lucky strike. One last surprise, is a sizable shed with power a work bench and lighting!
