The McAlister-Leftwich House is actually two connected houses totaling 12,000 square feet on the edge of Fisher Park and downtown. Owners of each property will hold an open house on Saturday for interested prospective brides and grooms. “By providing this immersive experience, it’s going to bring more attention to our city,” Eric Fuko-Rizzo said. It also will help owners of both properties cope with the financial losses each sustained in 2020 and early 2021, when the COVID-19 pandemic canceled large gatherings and events worldwide.

On the hallway walls, Eric Fuko-Rizzo has hung a gallery of photos of the Price family and pastor families who lived there long before them.

After extensive renovation and historic preservation work, the Julian Price home will be open to the public as an official designer showhouse. Inside, you’ll find over 15 different design talents spanning from room to room such as Audrey Margarite of Bunny Williams Home, Maria Money of Maria Money Interiors, and Maria Adams of Maria Adams Designs. It remains one of North Carolina’s grandest Tudor Revival-style homes. They and their 7-year-old twin daughters live in slightly more than half of the 11,000-square-foot house.

East Coast designers will be selected to decorate each room, to showcase their work to the public for a limited time. Michaels's home was built in 1990, a three-story minimalist-modern structure with plenty of glass and a floating staircase in steel and glass continuing the vibe inside. The house spreads three bedrooms and four bathrooms across 4,300 square feet of living space, with an office and two ocean-view balconies thrown in. Southern Lights has installed hundreds of outdoor landscape lighting systems and carries more certifications than anyone in the state.

The owner was an interior designer, but over many years, piles and piles of stuff grew inside the enormous home, while trees and weeds overtook the yard. To help the previous owner financially, the Fuko-Rizzos contacted the A&E show Hoarders. The show helped clear the property of its layers of furniture and debris. Finally, months after closing on the sale of their new home, Michael and Eric could see all four floors and 11,000 square feet.

More than 1.2 million households watched the drama unfold as crews emptied the house of clutter accumulated by its former owner, Sandra Cowart, before she lost the house to foreclosure. Fisher Park neighbors tell me, they have mixed feelings about the house - they're worried large groups will generate too much noise and traffic. But, the neighborhood's 'Hillside' committee is backing the Fuko-Rizzos on their request for the specialty permit, as long as everyone benefits. "We're sort of doing a B&B, bed-and-breakfast," Michael said, "We're in the process of getting a permit that allows us to comply with some city ordinances." Today, the results of the elbow-grease chapter of their story are apparent to any guest who books one of the five rooms at the Julian Price House Inn & Gardens.

We were renovating other houses in the neighborhood and would drive by, and we could only see the roofline from the street,” said Michael. “It is really interesting to have had this place exposed around the world. People come from all over and stay with us, which is why we opened it to the public — so many were interested in the story from the TV show, but it’s also architecturally intriguing,” Michael Fuko-Rizzo told The Post. This bed and breakfast takes “the satisfaction of a clean room” to a different level. Enjoy a History Hunt through town, or simply enjoy a self-guided History Walk.

Jazz music plays softly through the home’s speakers, inviting guests to relax in the sunroom or explore the rooms and grounds. Chip Callaway, a prominent landscape designer who lives around the corner, conceived of the landscaping, whose showstopping beauty rivals the house. Footpaths wind through native plants, and century-old oaks stand as witnesses to the triumphs and struggles that come from making a life here. Greensboro interior designer Linda Lane leads planning for the home to become a designer show house.

Whether you are a party of two or 11, when you stay at the Julian Price House you will be treated to luxury and refinement. Michael, Eric, their 6-year-old twin daughters and their cat Tyler live in the closed-off servant’s wing of the house. The bedrooms are filled with antique furniture sourced from local antique shops and high-end local producers such as Theodore Alexander. One bedroom has an original fireplace; another has a blue ceiling with white clouds. The glass-fronted kitchen cabinets are painted light blue and are complemented by a cream floral wallpaper.

Other business interests included a majority stake in the Greensboro Record, one of the city’s two leading newspapers. He held a role as president of the Atlantic and Yadkin Railway, a short line railroad within North Carolina from 1899 to 1950. It ran from Mount Airy southeast through Greensboro to Sanford, primarily serving the central Piedmont region. After the designers and their decor are gone, the Fuko-Rizzos will plan to move in. “Today, people have an expectation of kitchen standards that exceed the standards of the past,” Briggs said.

“We feel all three of the houses work so well together, and you get that historic experience,” Holland said. After some careful planning, the Fuko-Rizzos decided to make the home a rental. Interested parties can rent the entire house, half of the home, or even, one of the rooms. In 2018, 'Hillside" became a show-house, and after several tours and private gatherings, Michael says there was still a lot of interest in the home. "You have years and years and years where no one walked on the floors, and no one flushed the toilets and no one used the plumbing, and it preserved… It was like a time capsule," Michael said.

Returning to the entry hall, continue through recessed pocket doors into the dining room, the home’s second-largest room. “This is a rare example of a cast plaster ceiling in Greensboro, and a rare example in North Carolina,” Briggs said. “On the exterior of the house, you’ll notice these long windows and the stair tower,” Briggs said. The home has two floors of living space, plus an attic and basement.

A little more than half a mile away, the Julian Price House will offer overnight accommodations and space for smaller rehearsal dinners and farewell brunches. That keeps it within the rules for its special-use permit for the bed and breakfast, the Fuko-Rizzos said. Now owners Michael and Eric Fuko-Rizzo have partnered with owners of another historic Fisher Park property, the McAlister-Leftwich House, to offer wedding packages. As you enter the home, it softly sweeps you up and transports you to another world. In 1919, New York architect Charles Hartmann came to Greensboro to design the O.Henry Hotel on North Elm Street.

Anchoring the home, a grand spiral staircase walled by floor-to-ceiling windows overlooks the lush, oak-filled Fisher Park just across the street. Upstairs, the home’s bedrooms and adjoining bathrooms serve as mini suites outfitted with plush linens and antique furnishings.

This 11,000-square-foot mansion was purchased by esteemed Greensboro, North Carolina, interior designer Sandra Cowart in 1975. But in a reality show-ready turn, she tragically lapsed into collecting hordes of objects that engulfed the house before it went into foreclosure. Take a step back in time to the days of Julian’s beginning rooted in the 1870’s gold rush.
