Open House: Sun., March 25
Location: Atlanta
Price: $1.275 million
Property details: Columned porches, sweeping staircases, majestic French doors, and exquisite tiered moldings make this plantation-style Atlanta mansion an absolute dream.

Open house: Sun., March 25

It's spread over 2,758 square feet and has three bedrooms, four bathrooms, and a state-of-the-art kitchen.
