Luckily, lightening never strikes twice in one place, yet when it hit this late 1920’s home in 1988 it set off a thunderous round of restorations. When Stacy and Bill Gryboski bought it in 1997, they continued the renovations to the Carriage house then expanded the original format of the main house back and up, even excavating the basement for a workout room - all the while maintaining its historical integrity impeccably well. Tracking down the only white marble available in Georgia, finding beams from an old farmhouse in Connecticut and a soapstone sink from Vermont are just some of the many uncommon features the couple added. Aside from being a beautiful tribute to their good taste, it is also a haven to keep the couple’s ancestors very much alive, like Grandma Ella whose art and 1935 Schiller piano add timeless grace, along with an outstanding family collection of early American antiques that date back as far as the 1790s.
