About the Showhouse

Perched on a hill in Brookhaven, the 2025 Home for the Holidays Showhouse blends contemporary style with timeless charm. Designed by LINDA MACARTHUR and built by LIVINGSTON FINE HOMES, the exterior features crisp lines, light brick cladding, and expansive windows that frame views of the neighborhood and nearby park. Inside, designer VALERIE GARRETT adds elegant curves and rich finishes—from a concave arched foyer ceiling to French oak floors and marble accents.

The home balances modern luxury with Art Nouveau touches, seen in the leaded glass kitchen cabinets by MORGAN CREEK CABINETRY, fluted marble hood, and sculptural detailing throughout. A spacious main-level great room, luxe primary suite, and upper-level en suite bedrooms and a spacious lounge make it ideal for families or empty nesters alike. On the terrace level, a wellness space, wine bar, and home theater is an entertainer’s paradise, and outdoors, a manicured landscape by Charlie Sears of LAND PLUS ASSOCIATES surrounds a covered porch, pool, and fireplace.

Parking

Volunteer with us! 

Have a passion for design? Join us! Volunteers receive one complimentary ticket to come back to the house at any time and a complimentary subscription to Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles with a second volunteer shift. 

It’s a fun few hours in a gorgeous setting and a wonderful way to meet new friends. Answer guest questions (we provide a notebook with answers!), direct visitors to their next room, or work in the ticket registration. There is a short orientation at the beginning of your shift to help you feel comfortable and knowledgeable. 

We welcome groups of volunteers! If your organization can commit to an entire shift, we can help promote your organization on social media that day. Service hours can be certified by a staff member.
