Though the home is not haunted, it is certainly a mansion by most standards. The property spans 10,000 square feet and includes six bedrooms and bathrooms. The primary bedroom offers a private porch, kitchenette, and two large walk-in closets. A full bar, pool room, poker table, and media space can be found in the basement in addition to a chef’s kitchen, butler’s pantry, and grilling deck on the main level. An unfinished apartment is located above the garage, offering opportunities for new owners to customize.
The residence is located in Sweet Bottom Plantation, a gated community in Duluth, Georgia, that describes itself as a “neighborhood of historically inspired residences.” Many homes take cues from Colonial, Creole, and Greek-revival homes found throughout cities such as Charleston, New Orleans, and Savannah. “Hurst got approval from the Sweet Bottom developer [to build the home there], as it was a perfect fit for the New Orleans section of the community,” Laney says. Living in the neighborhood offers access to a number of community amenities, including a clubhouse, playground, pool, tennis courts, and pickleball court.
