Sale of the Week: Revived Georgian Revival
I’m thrilled that our city showcases a variety of housing styles, but when I see like this two-story red brick Georgian Revival house in Peachtree Heights Park, it just brings me a sense of Southern comfort.
Listed for $3.5 million by Greg Lyles, president and broker of Conrad Lyles Realtors, the Cecil F. Johnson House on 2598 Habersham Road has been gorgeously updated by Margaret Whitaker.
Lyles tells us that every effort was made to retain the authentic period details throughout the four-bedroom, four-bath home, which dates back to 1936 and has the master suite on the main level. The kitchen, looking fresh and crisp with its white walls and cabinets, has been brought into modern times with high-end stainless steel appliances and a fireside keeping room. The restoration continued with the carriage house, dating to 1918.
It’s a historic home primed for homeowners to create a new history.

Jan Showers in Atlanta
We first previewed Glamorous Rooms, the fabulous new book by Dallas designer Jan Showers, in our October issue. Last month, she was in town signing copies at Belvedere’s delicious new digs on Miami Circle. If you don’t have a copy, trust me when I say that anyone with an interest in interior design should have this book in her library.
In case you missed the signing, I wanted to direct you to Fox 5’s Web site for Good Day Atlanta, where Showers appeared while she was in town. Enjoy the video.

Sale of the week: Dean Gardens update
Dean Gardens – one of the spots in Atlanta where I admit I always have the urge to slow down, pull over and gaze at when driving along Old Alabama Road in north Fulton – is entering 2010 still on the market for $13.9 million.
So agent Suzanne Close shared some thoughts into the plans to find a qualified buyer for the pink estate with eight bedrooms plus a 18-hole golf course, tennis courts, amphitheater, wedding chapel and more on 58 acres.
“Whether it is a corporate buyer or institutional or private I have to think outside the normal avenues. Now I am exploring luxury auctions, tax deferral programs for government agencies and working on a possible private investor event with another agent,” says Close, founding member/broker associate with Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty.
Getting creative may be just what it takes for the eye-catching estate to sell.

HGTV show seeking fabulous master suites
Atlanta homes frequently appear on HGTV shows, and the network’s “Bang for the Buck” is looking for area homeowners who have renovated and updated their master suites.
If you’re redone yours in the last three years and think it’s deserving of being on TV , this may be your chance.
The agent who contacted me is John Morris with Prudential Georgia Realty, so e-mail him at John.morris@prudentialgeorgia.com with your information and details about the master suite redo.
Act fast – he needs to hear back by Monday, Dec. 14 so he can forward a list of possible homes on to the show’s producer.
Keep us posted if you end up being filmed for the show.
