Towards the end of Garraux Road, a short, tree-lined street in an exclusive northwest Atlanta neighborhood, you'll find an expansive home that's on the market for $9,500,000.

Less than two years ago, in August 2015, it sold for $6 million.

Speaking in May 2016 about that sale, a real estate agent said it was the second most expensive home sold in Atlanta in the past year — right after the $17.5 million sale of Tyler Perry's Paces Ferry Road home.

The 2000 Garraux Road NW home also happens to be located by Perry’s former back gate.

Now that we’ve talked numbers, let’s look at some pretty photos.

The five-bed, 11-bath stone home was inspired by 17th century French Provencal farmhouses. It was designed by William B. Litchfield.
