When a southerner asks, "Who’s your daddy?", the question has a different meaning than it does in the rest of the country. They really want to know your family tree to determine if they’re associating with a person from the right side of southern history. Southerners are also known for their distaste of change and are fervently proud of a heritage of tobacco and cotton money, white columned plantation homes, the femme fatale Southern Belle, the Confederate flag, and anything that can be connected to tradition. Whether large or small, most homes are traditional and the entertaining is still somewhat formal and gracious in the southern style. Ladies still sip ice tea on front porches in the summer and every sweet, white haired elderly lady has her private stash of blackberry brandy to "calm the nerves" and every liquor cabinet has its token bottle of white lightening flavored with peaches. This is true for most southern cities and small towns carpeting the deep south.

Atlanta, Georgia, however, is a hybrid. It’s one of the few southern cities that the young people don’t leave after college looking for jobs and the excitement of living in a city on the cutting edge of style and convenience. Defying its location but with respect for its historical past, today’s Atlanta has more than 75 percent of Fortune 1,000 companies doing business in the city and provides all the arts, restaurants and luxuries to which these employees have become accustomed. Though the area still holds tight to its history and the elegant plantations, it has also welcomed contemporary ideas and architecture in keeping with its progressive image.

An excellent example of Atlanta’s contemporary real estate is this 7,800-square-foot home going to absolute auction on May 8th. Soaring five floors with rooftop terrace, the home was designed by Jova Daniels Busby, who also designed the Atlanta Civic Center and Carter Center. Open and airy with marble floors and high ceilings, the home has five bedrooms, five bathrooms, walls of glass with private views through mature trees and views of the city from the roof terrace. All luxuries were considered with smarthouse controls, custom cabinets throughout and 200-bottle wine storage.
