Camellia Oaks
Deep South Estate Designed by Philip Trammel Schutze

Beautiful southern estate featuring the perfectly balanced design of famed architect Schutze, (the Swan house in Atlanta represents his best known work). The home is well documented at the Atlanta History Center. Any view of this classic Georgian home is outstanding! Surrounded front and back by carefully selected shrubs, the grounds were designed by a master landscape designer, and feature mature boxwoods, sculptured azalea hedges, beautiful magnolias, (well over 100 years old) Japanese maples, Japanese magnolias, and flowering camellias. The appeal, condition, build quality, and lasting dignity of this home is impressive by any standard, and invites comparison with other well maintained distinguished offerings. Consider the estate as a perfect primary residence, or perhaps a special home to winter with easy access to Atlanta, Thomasville, Tallahassee, Jacksonville and the entire South Georgia-Florida region

Restored and upgraded – there are no compromises in the overall maintenance of this 67 year old property. Recent improvements include: a complete exterior repaint, full roof tear-off, with a new 50 year premium architectural roof, insulated garage doors with outside keypads, original shutters removed restored and repainted, all hardwood floors refinished, installation of new ceiling fan lighting in six rooms. Wonderful build quality that features original copper gutters, all brick construction, brick exterior accent walls, 3 marble fireplaces (living room, dining room and library), plus fireplaces in the upstairs master and sitting room, full paneled library, with moldings, build-ins, and details to numerous to mention.

The expansive first floor is ideal for entertaining. Character of the design is evident through the warm and inviting atmosphere that permeates the 12 room's configuration. Harmonious interior design features neutral colors that emphasize the contrasting hardwood flooring. Lots of windows help give the home a very contemporary feel and are unusual for a design from the 30's.
