Owner lived in Africa for over twenty years and many of his design pieces are on display here. Hardwood and bamboo floors on first floor; new carpet in bedroom upstairs. Eco-friendly HVAC system.

You might hear the faint whistle of a train going by late at night from the old Atlanta rail system — or a barred owl outside our window. Owners are both artists and enjoy the peace and serenity of this home. Some of Mark’s photos are on display throughout the home, and copies of Stacia’s novels are on the antique Dutch chest by the fireplace. You’re welcome to read any other book in our home, as well — we just ask that you leave it here when you depart!
