The Aqua Midtown condo features portraits of Morgan Freeman, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Queen Nefertiti and a sculpture of former home run king Hank Aaron.

Ross Rossin's painting of Egyptian Queen Nefertiti, which was inspired by a bust in a Berlin museum, is in the condo's entrance hall.

The gallery wall in the home office features sentimental items and modern art. The lamps and credenza are from Currey & Co.

The classic mid-century modern chairs were a gift from Karen Hudson-Simard to her husband.

The Hank Aaron sculpture is the model that was used for the statue of the Braves icon at SunTrust Park.

The classic mid-century modern chairs were a gift from Karen Hudson-Simard to her husband. "My husband and I love the Eames chairs," she said.

A condo's contemporary, artful interior include a sofa by Kravet and pieces from 14th Street Antiques and Modern Home.

The cutout of the Kravet couch mimics the Greek key design of a valance on the other side of the room. The dining room chairs are by Hickory White, the dining room table is from Caracole and the chandelier is from Global Views. The Midtown Atlanta condo, built in 2007, also has details like curved ceiling soffits.

Lucite stools by Faulkner Custom Furniture, pendants made from Waterford goblets and sleek Italian tile are among the glam accents in the Midtown condo's kitchen.

From the shower with features like frameless glass in the high-rise condo, the homeowners can see the city sights, as well as traffic down below.

The blue sink already was in the powder room in Atlanta's Aqua Midtown building. The homeowner took cues from the shape and installed the Alisa Wall Mirror.

Karen Hudson-Simard purchased an antique Afghanistan ceremonial robe for a boy when she was in Istanbul in 2000 and displayed it in a custom lucite box.

Much of the artwork in the condo has a personal connection. Those pieces include a bust of Louis Sullivan, founding president of Morehouse School of Medicine, and a friend of the homeowners.

The modern city vibe continues in the guest bedroom, which has a platform-style bed from Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams and a dresser from Caracole.

The luxurious master bathroom, which has an oversized jetted tub and limestone tile floor, soaks up the city surroundings.

A bed and chairs by Faulkner Custom Furniture in North Carolina are among the pieces purchased at Atlanta's Scott Antique Market in the artful condo.

Built-ins throughout the condo, including in the master bathroom, are by Jim Collins with More Space Place in Atlanta.

The partial oval is an architectural detail that the Midtown Atlanta condo owners love on their expansive terrace.

"It's great because, depending on the weather, you can move around. Depending on the wind and the sun, you can move to where it's nice to be outside," said homeowner Karen Hudson-Simard.

Karen Hudson-Simard, owner of Rossin Fine Art, and Chris Simard, an executive with Neenah Paper, purchased their high-rise condo in Atlanta's Aqua Midtown in 2012.

The contemporary condo was built in 2007, and when the homeowners purchased it in 2012, they removed the huge hot tub on the terrace.
