From the Agent: "Designed by award-winning architect Joseph Amisano of the firm Toombs, Amisano, & Wells in Atlanta, the one-of-a-kind home is constructed of concrete, steel, travertine, and glass. Long rumored to have been a creation of Frank Lloyd Wright, the home has become something of a legend in Rome and Northwest Georgia. As you approach Skyhaven through its front gates, the home’s unique layout is immediately apparent. Outside, in addition to the courtyard and wraparound porch, a massive 1,800-square-foot patio could play host to large parties or intimate nights around the gas firepit. Sited on a triple lot, the home has expansive views of rolling hills, Downtown Rome, and even Berry College. Continually and lovingly renovated by the previous and current owners, Skyhaven remains a respectful interpretation of the original midcentury-modern vision."
A large courtyard leads to the home's main entrance, where a Mies van de Rohe–inspired living area awaits.
"The open area at the core of the home could easily be used for dining or other entertaining purposes and functions," notes the agent.
Beyond the kitchen is a light-filled lounge, complete with double-height windows, a broad brick fireplace, a spiral staircase, and an original, custom-built bar area.
Custom details continue in the open office perched on the upper level.
A sprawling 1,800-square-foot backyard patio comes with a gas firepit.
