In Buckhead, we find this timeless-modern paradox that's perfect for raising messy kids and keeping a big shaggy dog that lives for playing in the mud. We kid. So blindingly white is the interior of this Mediterranean-style five-bedroom manse it blurs the line between vertical and horizontal, resulting in infinity rooms to match the backyard pool.

Built in 1925, the property underwent a Keith Summerour renovation in 2007, with internationally known designer Barbara Hill on board to make the interior as polarizing as possible.
