Homes

From the street, Maurie Mintz’s house appears to be a quaint renovation in an established Decatur neighborhood. What a surprise, then, to learn that it’s actually new construction by design/build firm Terracotta.

Like a plot out of a romantic comedy, Daniel Soder randomly wandered into Jayme Armour’s Virginia-Highland home furnishings store, Armour & Company, looking for decorating help. But over the course of a few years, their creative collaboration grew into a love story.

Some homes are worth playing the long game. “We had told a realtor friend that our dream was to find a house to renovate on Silver Lake, and nothing had really come available for over 10 years,” says Michelle Clery, who is a longtime Atlanta resident, along with her husband, Bob Roddewig. “He called us a year later about a home going up for sale the next day, so we jumped in the car to take a look right away.”

After first pondering a move to the country, interior designer Jayme Armour ended up buying a house a few miles from downtown Atlanta, but it turns out the two ideas weren’t that far apart. The 1950s cottage she discovered in East Lake came with a large, lush lot—including a banana palm tree in the back—and a leafy neighborhood.

Angelle leaned toward classic design while Zach wanted a more rustic appearance. After finding an ideal lot near Chastain Park, the couple tapped architect Ross Piper for the job. The result is a European farmhouse that marries the wish lists of both husband and wife and provides a picture perfect place for them to raise their young family.

Matt Richburg first connected with interior designer Kate Hayes through Houzz, the online design source. When they met in person at the new empty condo he’d bought at the Brookwood in south Buckhead, their styles meshed instantly.

Music mogul and entrepreneur Rick Ross hosts a holiday party to launch his latest business venture. Here's hoping this owner of the former Holyfield mansion says "rich forever."

Interior designer Tim Hobby has admired this contemporary stunner in his Ansley Park neighborhood since before it was completed in 2014. Set on a half-acre lot that was previously home to an apartment building, the house was designed by the cutting-edge architecture team Cara Cummins and Jose Tavel of TaC Studios.

Marietta may be hundreds of miles from any beach, but a coastal vibe washes over every room at Jamie Krywicki Wilson’s house, about a mile from the historic square.

The circa-1932 cottage Whitney Durham and her husband, Nathan, found in Buckhead had the sort of character she appreciates: stone on the front facade, with a Gothic-shaped front door painted a cheery blue.
