Larger home, more energy efficient

Mark Woodworth, a hotel consultant, and his wife Mary Kay, executive director for the Metro Atlanta Landscape and Turf Association, were not looking for a new house because they wanted to renovate the home they had lived in for 20 years. But those plans changed when Mark drove by a lake home for sale. He came back and said, “I want you to go look at something,” Mary Kay explains. “We fell in love with it. We bought it, moved in two months later and sold our old house two years later.” Scott Dean/AJC Special
