The Story
"Something a
little different"
That is how architect Leila Ross Wilburn herself described Design #136 — this Colonial-Craftsman home she conceived over 100 years ago. Don't be fooled by its ingenious, unassuming appearance: within you'll find over 3,500 square feet with a remarkably open, spacious floorplan that was ahead of its time from the moment of conception.
For over 20 years, the current owners have restored this home with an emphasis not only on exceptional artisanship but also on remaining timeless. Original red brick. Original 2¼" hardwood floors. Beveled-glass French doors, original crown molding, glass knobs, and two original brick gas fireplaces — all in exceptional condition. Every system maintained, every detail preserved.
Some homes opt for a "historical refresh" and others for a "modern renovation." This home has both — a deep appreciation of the past, with additions that make it completely comfortable in the present.

Property Details
Everything that matters
Mechanically Exceptional
Whole-house generator serviced twice yearly. Spray foam insulation throughout. Termite bond in place. Clean, dry basement and crawlspace. This home has been maintained the way it deserves.
Historically Accurate Windows
All windows replaced with period-appropriate, historically accurate replacements — preserving the architectural integrity Leila Ross Wilburn intended while delivering modern performance.
2.5-Car Garage · ADU-Ready
Oversized 2.5-car garage already plumbed for an accessory dwelling unit — a rare and valuable opportunity for a guest suite, rental income, or multigenerational living.
Dual Laundry
Stackable washer/dryer on the main level plus a dedicated upstairs laundry room with folding area and linen storage. A small detail that makes a large home genuinely livable.
Exceptional Grounds
Mature trees maintained by a certified arborist annually. Hardscaping additions in the backyard, fresh seeding, and a full landscaping refresh underway. Plus a charming potting shed for the serious gardener.
Move-In Ready · 5 Bedrooms
Interior freshly painted throughout. The current owners created a 5th bedroom upstairs — currently a beautifully outfitted nursery with custom closet, and equally suited as a private home office. Every surface considered, every system serviced.
The Neighborhood
Druid Hills — Intown at its finest
Centrally located in one of Atlanta's most storied, Olmsted-designed communities — just a 6½-minute walk to Emory University and Emory Village, and a short drive to Decatur, Virginia-Highland, Midtown, and Downtown. This is what Rebekah and Nathan call "a real home in a real historic neighborhood."
