Sandy Springs Homes and ArchitectureSome of the most opulent homes in Sandy Springs can be found along the banks of the Chattahoochee River where many Antebellum and American Craftsman style mansions featuring riverfront views, boat docks, swimming pools and hot tubs are situated on large estates. Antebellum was a style of architecture that originated prior to the Civil War among wealthy Southern plantation owners. It is exemplified by the palatial plantation home named Tara in the famous movie, Gone with the Wind. Typical Antebellum style homes feature grand supporting columns or pillars along the front side, covered porches at ground level, upstairs exterior balconies, grand staircases and even formal ballrooms. American Craftsman style architecture represented a philosophical reaction to opulent design featuring extensive use of local woods and other natural materials, handcrafted metalwork, and a simpler yet still elegant style with low-pitched gabled roofs, large front porches, and creatively artistic interior designs. Sandy Springs also has many newer condominium and townhouse developments, 1, 2, 3 and 4 bedroom single family homes, and retirement communities. Great deals on homes and properties can be found starting at around $180,000 and moving all the way up to the multi-million dollar range.
