Rossdhu, Estate of the Day
This Tudor style home in Atlanta, Georgia goes by the name of Rossdhu. It was built in 1918 and sits on 4.47 acres. The property includes a carriage house with two apartments, six garages and a lighted tennis court. The main home has been restored with a modern kitchen, luxurious master suite with his and hers dressing rooms and baths, exercise room and a wine cellar. The home's heavy paneling does make it a bit dark and the current level of clutter makes it hard to appreciate the fact that the interior spaces are actually pretty grand. At $14.5 million it's priced near the top end of the Atlanta real estate market but there aren't too many homes like this in the area.

This estate is beautiful; I personally change some furnishings and accessories, but overall is wonderful.

I like the house and while the grounds lack any landscaping vision it is a 'nice' offering on the market. Not a real "wow" kind of home in its current form or presentation. So paying a large premium for it is questionable.
As Jack said the interior is in need of changes. I'd quickly drop the way too exessive rose color in multiple rooms and dispaching the Lilly Pulitzer gone bad pattern schemes. The original hardwoods and ornate details after the current owner's furnishing are gone would shine quickly.
Even with a few changes is it worth a price in the 'teens'? I doubt it in this market or even in the go-go boom days.
