If you were looking at a certain mansion a year ago in Cobb County but hesitated because $4.5 million was just $550,000 out of your price range, you’re about to look real smart.

Yes, the 12,741-square-foot behemoth at 2995 Paces Lake Drive has had a half-million-dollar price drop since September.

You can now scoop it up for $3.95 million, according to its realtor Glennis Beacham.

So if the idea of ambling across century-old maple floors in the morning, looking past the already gorgeous view of your saltwater pool to the even-more-gorgeous view of a 10-acre lake would get you out of one of your five beds in the morning, then this place might be for you.

Oh, and because you just woke up, you'll be happy to hear you have seven bathrooms.

This Vinings home sits on a 1.5-acre lot with a 180-degree view of Paces Lake.

The home features nine-foot-high pecky cypress ceilings, a slate roof and a cobblestone driveway imported from the far-away land of Chicago. And speaking of driving, don't worry about bird decoration from the lake because you have a garage that can handle at least four cars.
