The house you’re about to explore is not just a home; it’s an iconic, historic mansion named Sterling Hall. This house comes with a fascinating history. The name was inherited with the property, which is over 200 years old, and features antique furnishings like the magnificent fireplace, imported from France. The stunning Baccarat chandeliers are seen in both the foyer and formal dining room, making a statement of luxury. As the owner explains, while wealth may speak for itself, she finds joy in keeping her life private, despite the extravagant nature of her home.

Living here for nearly four years, she and her family have invested millions into the home, with one million alone spent on furnishing the space. Her formal dining room includes Versace China, and the entire house is a display of grandeur and luxury. Her husband suggests expanding the mansion even further, but for now, this 22,000-square-foot, $9 million home seems more than enough. It features eight bedrooms, a swimming pool, a wine cellar, and a “woman cave” with vaulted ceilings and pink tufted couches.

One of the house’s best-kept secrets lies behind a simple bookshelf that, when opened, reveals a hidden closet — a two-story wardrobe under the primary bedroom. It’s a dream space for someone with a passion for fashion and performance, providing the ideal setting for her personal style and wardrobe.

A standout feature of this home is the custom-built performance space modeled after the Fox Theatre. It’s not just a home theater; it’s an actual stage for her as a performer. This intimate space allows her to entertain in true theatrical style. From the impressive seating arrangement to the grand design, it’s clear this is a space to showcase talent. The hostess humorously hints that it could host everything from Real Housewives watch parties to album releases.

In addition to the stage, the home features a unique salon space, filled with a collection of wigs ready to suit any occasion or persona. These wigs, a favorite among the Housewives, show off her versatility and love for style transformation. The home is full of surprises, including custom designs like a three-level floating staircase and marble arches weighing over 2,000 pounds each. The attention to detail is immense, and the aesthetic is unmatched, with limestone floors and mahogany ceilings creating an atmosphere of elegance.

The kitchen alone is a masterpiece, with crown molding worth over $300,000 and dual islands. Jerusalem gold stone covers the basement, and every space in the house, from the luxurious materials to the incredible craftsmanship, reflects the owner’s refined taste.

A particularly fun feature is the “train station” area, which captures a whimsical, almost Willy Wonka-esque vibe, complete with a model of old Atlanta, perfect for little visitors to enjoy.

Beyond the luxury of her home, there is drama brewing on the set of The Real Housewives of Atlanta. Shamea, the homeowner, opens up about the challenges of maintaining friendships in the group, especially after a falling-out with Brit Edy. The tension peaked after personal issues were brought to light, making Shamea reflect on trust and loyalty within the circle.

Shamea’s family life has also been marked by challenges. Her youngest daughter, Shiloh, was born prematurely with a rare condition, undergoing numerous surgeries to correct issues caused by her premature birth. Shamea’s strength as a mother is evident in her dedication to her family, particularly her daughter’s health struggles.

With family drama and a changing dynamic among the Housewives, viewers can expect plenty of twists in the upcoming seasons. Yet, despite the ups and downs, Shamea remains open to reconciliation, showing that forgiveness plays a key role in navigating the challenges of life and friendships.
