The home at 2922 Andrews Drive in Atlanta, Georgia has occupied the 2+/- acre corner lot overlooking Andrews Drive for nearly a century. In 1978 the mansion, known as the Witham-Clark House, was added to the National Register of Historic Places due to the historical importance of its architecture. The home was designed by visionary architect J. Neel Reid and completed in 1926. Just two years later, the home was featured in Home and Garden magazine, an affirmation of the wide appeal of the design and the significance of the home to the Atlanta architectural landscape.
Constructed in the Neo-Georgian-style the home is surrounded by mature poplar, oak and boxwood trees in the Peachtree Heights community, north of Downtown Atlanta and west of the commercial areas of Buckhead. The home features ten foot ceilings throughout as well as meticulously maintained antique oak floors. A beautiful contoured stair rises majestically from the formal entry foyer to the second level of the home.
Elegant molding commensurate with a home of this stature are apparent at every turn. The most prominent examples of such are perhaps the heavy roll frieze-style moldings above the doors leading from the foyer and hall to the formal living and dining rooms.
The formal living room features large floor-to-ceiling transom style windows and two sets of transome style french doors which lead to a wonderfully bright and luxurious porch with a marble floor, exposed brick walls and six massive arched windows which runs the length of the rear of the main unit of the home. A marble fireplace rests between the french doors and the living room also features custom built-in shelves at the far end.
The gourmet kitchen features state of the art stainless steel appliances to include a wine refrigerator. The counters are made of concrete and the large central island also contains a produce basin and pasta arm. The butler’s pantry adjoining the kitchen also spaciously provides a casual dining area. The formal dining room also features door moldings in the elegant style apparent throughout the home and contains a black marble fireplace. Two additional sets of french doors lead from the formal dining room to the gardens of the rear grounds.
The master suite features walk-in closets, a large sitting area and an additional fireplace. Of the five bedrooms on the second level, three also contain fireplaces. The master bathroom beautifully features white marble counters and a white marble shower enclosure as well as an antique-style garden bathtub.
The rear grounds of the home are beautifully wooded and landscaped and contains a spacious patio with stair access to the pool. The rear grounds also contain a brick guest house and garage and stone garden wall among oak and boxwood trees.
