The main home was built circa 1909 and designed by renowned architects Delano and Aldrich. The sale is being conducted in cooperation with listing agent Cindy Booth of Towne & Country Properties Sotheby's International Realty.

Tuxedo Park, Estate of the Day

Filed under: Estates

Today's estate is a glitzy beauty in Atlanta's pricey Tuxedo Park area. The brick and limestone Georgian estate mimics the look of a fancy English manor. The six bedroom home has lavish appointments including a wood paneled office and a vaulted master bathroom. The taste is a bit over the top in places. Mounted fish hang in the billiards room and what appear to be fake vegetables dangle along with copper pots above the kitchen's granite countertop. Outside there is a pool with a cabana wet bar and a brick outdoor fireplace. This home is listed at $6.9 million.

Filed under: Estates, Sports

Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank isn't planning to leave the city his team plays for but he is trying to sell his Atlanta home so he can move to another one. The co-founder of Home Depot has had his Buckhead area home on the market for a year with no sale and the Wall Street Journal's Private Properties reports that Blank has now cut the price by 18 percent to $8.9 million. Blank bought the home in 1993 for $3.38 million so he will still make a tidy profit on the deal. The home was built in the early 1950s and is located in the Tuxedo Park neighborhood. The seven-bedroom home is on four acres with a three-car garage and a pool.

This home is located near another mansion which has had a price cut. Windcrofte, the former mansion of the former head of Coca-Cola, Robert Woodruff. It was listed at $13.9 million last year and is now listed at $10.9 million.

Also in the area, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that Rossdhu, the 91-year-old mansion we covered as an estate of the day last December has had a price cut. It was $14.5 million and is now listed at $11.75 million.

Lindley Hall, Estate of the Day

Filed under: Estates

Another Warren and Wetmore masterpiece in Tuxedo Park, New York, Lindley Hall has one of the most beautiful sun rooms I have ever seen. The home was originally built for Henry Whitney Munroe and was purchased in 1926 by Clara Hill Lindley, sister of Ruth Hill Beard, who built another famous Tuxedo Park Chateau, Chastellux. The Louis XIIII style chateau has views of the lake and mountains and is full of large ornate rooms with heavy fireplaces, wood paneling and marble floors. The pictures aren't great and I suspect it's in need of some renovation but those curved doorways and moldings are amazing. It is listed at $6.75 million.
