Property Description
From 1920-1942 Harvey Cox was the longest serving president of Emory University. In 1940, Cox built 1881 Ridgewood Drive for his family. The brick/masonry home sits on a granite foundation above the street with a level backyard. Housing was in short supply, so they prudently included a 2/2 carriage house(separate gas and power meters) in the same style as the main house. While his neighbors had to shovel coal for heat, his home featured a dedicated coal room with a thermostatically controlled auger fed furnace( removed long ago). The home has been with the Cox/Lantz family for the last 84 years. Bring your contractor/architect and your imagination to this blank canvas ready for the next family to write their story. Features include: generous 70 x170 lot with lots of space to the side and back of the carriage house, 2018 main floor Lenox HVAC, full unfinished basement with interior and exterior access, workshop/storage room behind the garages, covered side porch of reinforced concrete construction, covered front entry (barrel vault), & hardwood floors. 2/2 Apartment( about 844 sq ft) over 2 car garage listed as finished basement sq footage
