Dean Gardens is one of the largest homes in metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia. At the time of its completion in 1992, the 32,000 square foot, 15 bedroom house was the largest in Atlanta. The owner Larry Dean, who made his fortune in software, spent $30 million on its construction, plus $1.5 million a year on its upkeep.[1] The house was put up for sale in 1994, and has since attracted media notoriety for having gone unsold for seventeen years. Reasons why it never sold include its "Liberace-meets-Napoleon design"[1] which include pink themes, a Moroccan theater, 24-karat-gold sinks, a Hawaiian-art gallery, a 1950s-style dance hall, French Empire furniture, 13 fireplaces, and a 24-seat dining room with a wall-sized aquarium called the Predator Tank.[1]
Dean Gardens was finally sold in 2010 to entertainment mogul Tyler Perry for $7.6 million, down from its original asking price of $40 million.[2][1] Perry plans to level the property to build a more energy efficient and sustainable residence[3][1].
