Southeastern Designer Showhouse 2020 Part 1

Atlanta is known for gorgeous homes and architecture and it’s always a treat to get invited to the showhouses in town, one of the perks of being a blogger. I’ve been going to the Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles Southeastern Designer Showhouse for all 5 years now and it’s always a highlight this time of year. The house opening was delayed this year due to Covid, but I’m glad to see it finally open.

This year’s house, Villa Flora, is an 11,000 s.f. renovated Buckhead estate with California transitional design by Benecki. Linda McArthur Architect, Cole Construction, Melanie Turner Interiors and SOURCE serves as this year’s showhouse.

Set on 6 acres in a gated setting, its amenities include a tennis court, new outdoor pool with a built in sectional and fire pit, indoor lap pool, grill patio, sculptures, trails and a basement with a wine cellar, spa massage and exercise rooms. A new family room with custom iron windows appears as a glass box overlooking the backyard rolling terrain.

Open to the public June 4-28, you can find tickets at the Southeastern Designer Showhouse website.

The house was originally built in the 1990’s by Harrison Design and the new design team updated the footprint with six bedrooms, six full baths and two powder rooms, with an emphasis on livable functional space with luxurious details. The house now features the work of top Southeastern interior designers for this showhouse opening.

The exterior materials include hardcoat stucco and a barrel-tile roof. Inside you’ll see white Venetian plaster walls, imported French oak flooring, and Moroccan tile in the rotunda honoring the home’s Santa Barbara style.

Here you can see the addition of the new glass family room off the kitchen which overlooks the pool.

And the built in seating area with the firepit by the pool, which was all just stunning.

Below are all the pictures I took. I’m going to share 1/2 of the tour today (the main level) and 1/2 next week (the Upper Level) since I took so many pics. I’ll share the designers of each space as well, so hope you enjoy the tour!

    Wow! That sofa/firepit area outside by the pool!!!! I would never leave!
    The floor of the master bath looks amazing. Was the tub inside the shower area? That is a novel idea if I ever remodel!

      The tub was not inside the shower, but right in front of that big black metal window. It was stunning!

    I have lived long enough to see styles come and go and come and go again. LOL This is one spectacular designer home. Birmingham did not have their show house this year, so it’s nice to see the Atlanta home albeit virtually. Thanks for the beautiful photos.

      Hi, Becky, I hear you and so have I. It’s always fun to see new things. I used to love the Birmingham designer showhouses too, what a treat.
