That old proverb about glass houses missed the point: If you lived at 499 Spring Valley Road, the very idea of hefting a stone and ruining the home's marvelous views would never come to mind.
The icy white interiors, blond wood flooring, and the light admitted by dozens of windows (the great room alone has what amount to glass walls) combine to spectacular effect. The place also caters to water babies: It has his and hers bathrooms and a hot tub that seats four; it also overlooks a creek.
A total renovation has transformed 2946 Dale Drive to a gem box in painted brick and frame. This Peachtree Park home includes such grace notes as a Viking stove separate from dual, wall-mounted ovens; wainscot in the dining room; a walkout deck in back; and a faced-stone main entrance out front.
