Harvin Greene of Dorsey Alston Realtors Sets New Record with $9 Million Sale in Druid Hills
Friday, August 30th, 2024
Initially offered for $8.6 million, this historic property sold above asking for $9 million within two weeks, drawing multiple offers from eager buyers.
This milestone marks the highest-priced sale ever recorded in Druid Hills and DeKalb County and underscores Greene's unparalleled expertise in luxury real estate. With a deep understanding of the Atlanta market, she continues to solidify her reputation as one of the top Realtors in metro Atlanta, with the highest sale to date at the time in Buckhead this March and $97M pending and sold to date for 2024.
The property, a masterpiece of historical preservation and modern luxury, was originally built in 1929 and has been meticulously renovated over the past four years. The project, a collaboration between the sellers and architect Cody Patton of Patton Architects, and interior designer Hope Austin of Austin Home Interiors, transformed the home into a one-of-a-kind estate. The only original feature remaining is the living room fireplace, preserving a touch of the home's storied past.
Set on a pristine one-acre lot, the property includes a newly added pool house complete with a Trackman golf simulator, art studio, and guest accommodations. The sellers, who founded Hawthorne Homes to bring their vision to life, ensured every detail was crafted with the highest quality materials and finishes. The home features luxurious details such as Schumacher, Romo, and Kravet fabrics, Circa lighting, and custom steel doors and windows that flood the space with natural light.
The renovation also introduced modern amenities such as a WhisperKOOL-enabled wine cellar, a full gym, and a Tesla charger-equipped three-car garage. The outdoor space is equally impressive, featuring a 900-square-foot pool, a 24-hole chipping course, a bocce court, and a 5,600-square-foot green sports lawn, all perfectly landscaped to maximize the estate's outdoor living potential.
The sellers’ passion for design and historic preservation, combined with Harvin Greene's market expertise, resulted in this record-breaking sale.
