Grand Replica of The Academy de Medici: inside are treasures from Southern Gothic and period pieces from the Civil War era, Revolutionary period and Bleniham Palace all showcasing a time reminiscent of days gone by. A private drive leads to the estate nestled among the woods to the home's front terrace. New Castle is located in the heart of Buckhead on a wooded hill with formal boxwood gardens and fountains in the rear. The home was created by George Totton, a Washington, DC architect, who fell in love with the Italian Renaissance Period while studying in Rome and was completed in 1912.

As you enter the foyer, a magnificent fireplace made of Tennessee sandstone catches your breath. Immediately behind you will find the formal living room with its own fireplace, and Steinway piano. Adjacent to this perfect setting for entertainment is the tea room with fireplace and an antique Steinway. From here, guests can exit the house onto a private terrace overlooking the gardens and circle into the marble floored solarium which allows access to the front terrace/entry. The library flows from this room, with yet another fireplace, and leads back to the foyer. Tucked under the stairs is a powder room and from this hall, you have access to the sitting room with French doors leading to the front terrace and the butler's pantry with upstairs kitchen and the formal dining room with, yes, you guessed it, an ornately carved fireplace! Out the formal dining room French doors is the porte cochiere with a covered veranda that makes for a perfect outside buffet or action station. The back terrace sits under a pergola and overlooks the formal tiered garden. Guests will thrill over being able to stroll or sit at tables scattered among the hedges. The overall grace and grandeur of Newcastle is to entertain in a truly Southern manner.

No smoking inside.
