Revitalizing 1394 Harvard Road
In the heart of Historic Druid Hills, where classic architecture meets timeless charm, a rare opportunity presented itself: the chance to reimagine a 1950s home from the ground up. Harvin and her team took full advantage, creating a stunning new construction that feels both rooted in the neighborhood’s character and refreshingly modern. The result? A custom-designed home that offers luxury, flexibility, and thoughtful details at every turn.
Reimagining Tradition
One of the most striking features of 1394 Harvard Road is the rare inclusion of a primary suite on the main level—a feature almost unheard of in this historic neighborhood. Harvin knew this layout would cater to modern living while offering ultimate convenience. The spacious primary suite is a serene retreat, with elegant design details and spa-like touches that elevate the everyday.
An Entertainer’s Dream
Stepping into the main living space, it’s impossible not to be drawn to the clean, open-concept layout. The kitchen, the true heart of the home, features a show-stopping Quartzite waterfall island and backsplash, custom cabinetry, and a separate butler’s pantry complete with a wine fridge and ice maker. Oversized steel windows and doors flood the space with light, seamlessly connecting the indoors to the covered porch and professionally landscaped backyard—a perfect spot for gatherings, big or small.
Form Meets Function
Flexibility defines this remarkable home. With double laundry rooms—one conveniently located in the mudroom on the main floor and another upstairs—Harvin ensured that practicality matches style. The second floor offers three additional bedrooms and two bathrooms, while the third level provides a full suite that can flex as a home office or guest bedroom. Even the basement leaves room for creativity, with a partially finished layout that includes a wine cellar and the potential for a fully finished guest suite or office above the two-car garage.
Contemporary Charm with Classic Spirit
From the custom steel-framed windows to the thoughtful floorplan, no detail of 1394 Harvard Road has been overlooked. Harvin envisioned a home that exudes effortless sophistication—modern and fresh, yet still wrapped in the welcoming warmth of its historic surroundings. The result is a perfectly tailored haven in Historic Druid Hills, blending timeless charm with modern amenities and design details.
1394 Harvard Road stands as a testament to the beauty of blending tradition with innovation. Whether it’s the sunlit open spaces, the luxurious finishes, or the rare primary suite on the main level, every inch of this home is a nod to thoughtful design and timeless living.
