Hidden Cottage 200 Feet from Ponce de Leon

Really? This for all intents and purposes is in Druid Hills. It's almost an acre and it's a goner. They build 1M+ houses in this neighborhood. If they build will one here, will they hide it from the street?


This looks old but the property record says 1930. I don't know.

I went to a caravan house on Tuesday and spotted this next door.

We don't have broken down sheds around here.

A closer look revealed this rusted metal roof.

I'd discovered a ancient ruin in jungle. I needed a closer look.

This is beside a grand 1923 Druid Hills type house.

Hmm... can't see from here.

It curves. Does this seem like high end unincorporated Dekalb County?

There's the broken shed I could see from next door.

There's another outbuilding back there.

They don't do outbuildings too much these days unless they are connected with concrete. My dad would have called this a "snakey place."

THIS is what I was looking for.

Here we go.

I had a cottage charm attack.

And I needed to let it go.
