Ansley Modern
This house has some serious design elements to it. The 4 bedroom, 5 bath house was designed by Dencity LLC and Giancarlo Pirrone. Complete with 4,000 sq. ft. the house actually has 4 levels, but viewing it from the street you can only see the 3 above ground stories. I find it very visually interesting and I like the way it sits up on the hill. I enjoy the cantilevered awning at the front. This house has a real cubist approach to it I think. Once inside one immediately notices they have discerning taste when it comes to furniture. An Egg chair greets you as you enter the front door. A spare bedroom includes a Bertoia bird chair. On the top floor, there is a great view and two Ball chairs hanging from the ceiling.


Favorite House on MA Tour
My favorite home was in the Old Fourth Ward. The neighborhood connects with Inman Park and Poncey-Highlands. This home really gave truth to the old saying don't judge a book by it's cover. I was looking at the picture of the house in the MA guide thinking it looked very boring and simple. It's not that visually interesting from the outside, but it's not an eye-sore by any stretch of the imagination. It could also be strategically smart taking into account where the house is located. The interior was very well decorated. The focal point, if you will, when you walk in the front door is a spiral staircase and baby grand piano. It's really quite stunning. There was also a really cool lap pool in the courtyard to the side of the house.
