Real Estate

It’s Labor Day weekend, and Atlantans are hitting the lake. Looking to get in on the action? Here’s what you need to know to get a lake retreat of your own—or even to live there full time (yes, it's possible).

If you’ve been dreaming of a mountain retreat, then the house in Chickamauga, two hours north of Atlanta, might be exactly what you’re looking for.

This luxurious 7,000 square-foot home built in 2008 has all the charm of a historic Tudor cottage.

Marketed as a “captivating . . . architectural masterpiece” and “historic work of art,” the Eason home is one of many in the area priced well north of $1 million, but none are quite like this. It's niche to the nines, modeled after cottages in England’s Cotswolds region, as evidenced by the stained glass, beefy fireplaces, sculptures, built-in bookcases, and an olde-worlde-style front door that wouldn’t be out of place on a Hobbit House.

With its classic architecture and enviable location among the Midtown skyscrapers, this circa-1910 house for sale in Ansley Park epitomizes the best of old and new Atlanta.

Built in 1904, the 3,763-square foot house, once owned by famed Georgia Tech football coach Bobby Dodd, not only has an abundance of curb appeal, but also features well-proportioned rooms, architectural details, and lush landscaping. Moreover, it boasts a prime location within steps of Piedmont Park, the Atlanta BeltLine, and the Ansley Golf Club.

FrontDoor Communities restores 19th-century home to serve as heart of new development just off Roswell's busy Canton Street.

For years, talk of fancy shops at Peachtree and Roswell roads in Buckhead has buzzed and abated as the cranes creaked on and off. Finally, as the mixed-use Buckhead Atlanta development fills the longtime hole in the ground, the chatter comes to fruition.

Beginning next week, the residents of Capitol View, Sylvan Hills, Lakewood Heights, and other Southeast Atlanta neighborhoods will get a chance to review the latest proposal to fix a long-neglected part of town.

Iconic Georgia architect Neil Reed created this mansion on 405 acres off West Paces Ferry. Some of the property later became home to the Governor's Mansion.
