The Jackson Home

1 Fontaine Drive

This Colonial-inspired brick ranch home built in 1963 features three fireplaces, two outdoor patios, an upper and lower driveway, and a finished basement with picture windows. Originally built by Catherine and Millard Farmer as a wedding gift for their daughter and son-in-law, the home is constructed using bricks recycled from a 19th century Turin factory. After losing their 1947 family home on 5th Street in Newnan as a result of the 2021 tornado, the current owners, Dean and Melissa Jackson, appreciate One Fontaine’s mid-century warmth and details reminiscent of their former residence. These details include large brick hearths, built-in cabinetry, vintage wallpapers, expansive window views, and hardwood floors. In addition to five sleeping accommodations, the family has also carved out space for a music room, an art studio, and a woodshop. The half-acre lot includes a small creek with newly-constructed bridge access into a wooded hillside dominated by magnolias and ferns. The family’s youngest daughter especially enjoys this
petite wilderness and has big plans for a treehouse and secret village among the saplings. The search for salamanders and adventure begun here by the Farmer children in 1963 continues with this new generation of residents.
