With its sprawling, rosy exterior, The Pink House in Atlanta, GA, looks like a well-preserved snapshot from the Roaring ’20s.

But it isn’t.

“With a lot of houses, you can kind of put a date stamp [of when it was built] on it by looking at it,” says listing agent Harvin Greene, with Dorsey Alston Realtors. “This house was built in 1990, but it feels like it was built in the 1920s, which is really the most popular era of homes in Atlanta.”

The pretty property is available for $2.3 million. It’s the first time the home has ever been on the market.

‘Labor of love’

The 4,540-square-foot home was a custom collaboration between the owner, who happens to be a designer, and an architect.

“It was really a labor of love,” Greene says. “You use every inch of the house, which is not common here. Also, the way they sited it on the lot, it isn’t necessarily how the rest of the street is built; but it’s the perfect way to get the optimum light and views of trees from every room. There was a lot of thought put into things.”

The five-bedroom, four-bath pink palace is full of character, inside and out.

“It’s pink, so it stands out from everything else; and it also has color inside, which is not typically what we see right now,” Greene notes. “So everywhere you look, it’s kind of [a] feast for your eyes.”

Distinct architectural details include moldings, 200-year-old beams, and a 400-year-old archway from Portugal. The curved staircase has a skylight above it.

“There’s something interesting to look at everywhere you are,” Greene says.

She points out that the blush-toned home functions well, and the details make it feel substantial.

“I think my favorite part about the house is that the way it’s designed—you use every room,” she says. “There are no wasted spaces. Every space has a function.”

Set on a half-acre lot, the property straddles the city line on a quiet cul-de-sac near a park in a desirable area.

The perfect buyer “is someone who is well traveled, who has been exposed to different kinds of architecture and different looks,” Greene explains. “I think it is someone who will appreciate the quality of [the home].”
