Fancy, Rustic French-Provincial Manse Lops Off $200K

Living like a fancy-pants French aristocrat in Buckhead is now slightly more achievable. Down the street from Bobby Jones Golf Course, in coveted Haynes Manor, this French Provincial home melds rustic charm (exposed beams aplenty) with modern luxury (a six-burner Viking range and bathroom chandeliers), but it's lingered on the market since June. Maybe a little de-cluttering would help, because it looks like a botany-loving Louvre curator was commissioned for interior design. (Most buyers will probably feel compelled to take a weed-whacker to the ceiling in the solarium-style dining room, which is otherwise rather magnifique.) Built in 2000, the nearly 4,000-square-footer has five bedrooms and tons of stone flooring, 11-foot-ceiling heights and patio space that looks plucked from the olde worlde. After a $200,000 price-chop this month, it's now listed for $5,000 less than $2 million. Bon chance, y'all!
