The Vinings Historic Preservation Society will be holding the third annual Vinings Tour of Homes on Sunday, September 14 from 12:30-5:00pm. The Presenting sponsors for this year’s tour are The Residences at Vinings Main and Avignon at Vinings.
The third annual Tour of Homes Preview Party will be Saturday night, September 13th.
Five unique and extraordinary homes located in Paces Manor, Paces Lake, Bakers Farm and Polo Lane have been selected to showcase, including one home whose kitchen was featured in a national magazine and one that includes a unique architectural feature that encompasses a water pond in the foyer. As an added bonus this year, the model homes at Vinings Main and Avignon at Vinings will also be open for the Tour.
Tickets for the Tour are $20 in advance and $25 the day of the Tour.
Susan and Joe Rich have graciously agreed to open their magnificent home in Paces Manor for the Preview Party the night before the Tour on Saturday, September 13 from 6-8:30 pm. This stunning home, designed by Goodsell Homes, features heart of pine floors with eight doors opening to the wrap-around porches and pool. The home even has its own baseball diamond complete with bleachers.
