Tucked away on a quiet, tree-lined Druid Hills street, this nearly new 2016 custom home further upgraded in 2021 offers an exceptional combination of scale, thoughtful upgrades, and energy-efficient construction. Built by Dennis McConnell of Healthy House (Atlanta Builder of the Year, 2015) and EarthCraft Certified, the home reflects a commitment to quality craftsmanship, healthy living, and long-term durability. Spanning approximately 5,588 square feet across three fully finished levels, the residence features 6 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms and was designed with high-performance HVAC systems and foam insulation to ensure superior comfort, efficiency, and sound control throughout the home.
The main level is perfectly suited for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. At its heart is a chef’s kitchen equipped with Viking appliances, custom cabinetry, and a new Thermador refrigerator and freezer, offering both style and functionality. Generous counter space, thoughtful storage, and an open layout allow the kitchen to flow seamlessly into the surrounding living and dining areas. From the living room, sliding doors open to a fully enclosed sunroom that is both heated and cooled, creating a true indoor–outdoor living experience. With floor-to-ceiling windows and screens, this versatile space can be enjoyed year-round while overlooking the private, fenced backyard and landscaped grounds. Just beyond, a new composite deck with a gas line for a grill or firepit further extends the home’s entertaining and relaxation options. A well-appointed guest suite on the main level adds flexibility for visitors, multigenerational living, or a private home office.
Upstairs, the expansive primary suite serves as a serene retreat, featuring a vaulted ceiling, two walk-in closets, and a spa-style bath designed for relaxation. Secondary bedrooms are generously sized and include en-suite baths and ample closet space, providing privacy and comfort for family or guests alike. The thoughtful floor plan ensures both connection and separation between spaces, making the home feel equally well-suited for daily living and special occasions.
The fully finished terrace level elevates the home’s versatility, functioning as a true in-law or independent living suite. Added in 2021, the full second kitchen allows for complete autonomy, while an additional bedroom and bath, media and recreation spaces, a mudroom, and abundant storage create a highly livable lower level. A terrace-level entry deck adds convenience and accessibility, making this level ideal for extended family, guests, or long-term stays.
Recent improvements since 2021 underscore the home’s move-in-ready appeal and include a new roof, widened driveway with enhanced privacy, irrigation system, refreshed interior and exterior paint, new hardwood floors throughout, updated landscaping and drainage, replaced garage doors, remote-controlled gas logs, a new attic air handler, and wiring for an electric vehicle charger. Carefully maintained and extensively upgraded, this exceptional home offers generous space, modern comfort, and remarkable flexibility—living large without compromise in one of Druid Hills’ most desirable settings.
