This house demonstrates how successfully new construction can blend the new with the old, fitting beautifully into a historic neighborhood like Inman Park. Nancy and Steve moved here with their two young children in 2025, but they were already familiar with the neighborhood from the years Steve spent developing his now flourishing business, King of Pops, which for almost a decade was headquartered on Elizabeth Street.
The features that first drew them to their new home included the bright, open, spacious floor plan; the front porch, which offers a birds-eye view of their urban surroundings; and the back screened-in porch with its secluded fireplace. The family’s minimalist style, which they describe as “quiet design,” meshes well with their busy lives at home and at work: Steve with his business venture, Nancy’s work with the CDC, and being parents to young children. They’ve welcomed the simplicity of owning a newly constructed house—while the house gives the homeowners many opportunities for growth in the future, the only project they have planned is building in a breakfast nook, which they hope will be complete in time for Festival.
While touring the bedrooms on the second floor, note the painting by their sister-in-law, Janice Carse, which she gave them as a wedding present. Also note the picture in the primary bedroom of a lake house, their favorite retreat. Both Steve and Nancy say their goal is to become immersed in the strong neighborhood spirit and sense of community Inman Park offers. Taking part in the Tour of Homes is a great start!
