Cynthia Bailey | House Tour 2025 | Inside the RHOA Star’s $1M Serene Lakefront Home

Real Housewives of Atlanta star Cynthia Bailey has been fully embracing the summer season at her waterfront home, which she named Lake Bailey. Here, the sun seems to always be shining, and life feels effortlessly simple, or at least it appears that way. Cynthia has lived at her lake house for years now, and she seems to fall more in love with it each day. The mansion not only brings her closer to nature, but also provides a stunning and peaceful backdrop for her photo shoots. Last month, Cynthia shared a series of photos on her Instagram, capturing moments of relaxation on her back deck at Lake Bailey, also giving a glimpse of the beautiful views both inside and outside her home. Cynthia bought her 2,000 ft home for just under a million dollars back in 2016, and it offers six bedrooms, soaring ceilings, a private dock on the lake, and much more. Cynthia Bailey started her career as a model, but perhaps she's best known for her role on the hit reality TV show, The Real Housewives of Atlanta. She joined the cast in 2010 during the show's third season and quickly became a fan favorite. During her time on Real Housewives, Cynthia also pursued several business ventures, including the Bailey Agency School of Fashion, which was a modeling school based in Atlanta. Cynthia also launched an eyewear collection, Cynthia Bailey Eyewear, and a line of leather goods, Cargo by Cynthia Bailey. Now, when it comes to her family, Cynthia has one daughter, Noel Robinson, born in 1999 from a previous relationship with actor Leon Robinson. In 2010, Cynthia married Peter Thomas, a restorator, in a lavish ceremony featured on Real Housewives, but sadly they divorced in 2017. In 2020, Cynthia found love again and married sports cer Mike Hill. Their wedding, a beautiful affair held at the Governor's Town Club in Aworth, Georgia, was also featured on the series. Before Cynthia moved into her beloved lakehouse, she called a town home in the Glenwood Park area of Atlanta home. In 2016, following her separation from ex-husband Peter Thomas, Cynthia listed this property for sale, which she bought back in 2007 for just under 600K. Throughout many seasons of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, Cynthia showcased the home, including scenes in the kitchen and other spaces before moving to her current house. Cynthia's former town home was both cozy and upscale, and when it was time to sell, she listed it for just under $700,000. The residence was considerably larger than many surrounding properties, sending 4,500 square ft with four beds and five baths. Spread across three levels, the town home boasted top-of-the-line finishes and communal spaces like a bright kitchen with a large Eden island and an attached breakfast room. Other features included smoke gray hardwood floors, two terraces, and a rear deck on the main level, ideal for entertaining. Additional amenities included a fireside great room, a formal dining room with an attached outdoor terrace, a library, a wreck room, and a fully finished basement level. While this townhouse was luxurious, spacious, and conveniently located near shops and dining, her current home is a definite upgrade. Shortly after selling that property, Cynthia purchased her current lakefront estate known as Lake Bailey for $960,000. Although her mansion's just minutes from downtown Atlanta, it offers a peaceful, secluded environment right on the water. The home is situated on nearly 1.5 acres surrounded by trees and greenery that provide privacy and a definite change from her city vibe town home. fans of Real Housewives would have witnessed Cynthia fall in love with the Serene Lake home during season 9 of the series. Interestingly, Cynthia might not have discovered this property at all if it weren't for the show. Initially planning to downsize to an apartment in the city after her divorce, she was looking at properties and ready to move. However, show producers suggested she film a scene touring a larger house to document her thought process. Reflecting on this time, Cynthia said, "It's so crazy. I went to film it thinking I wouldn't like it and would easily be able to write it off." And as soon as I walked out on the deck, I was like, "Oh my god, this is my house. I have to have this house." And so she did. Acquiring the home wasn't easy, though, as another buyer had already bid on it. But Cynthia outbid them and secured her dream home. She moved into the house during the show and showed off the finished furnished property in season 10. It's easy to see why Cynthia is so in love with her home. The house features massive windows, wood accents, and is surrounded by nature and wildlife, offering private access to the lake, like a permanent vacation. The lush backdrop is also perfect for her selfies, which Cynthia frequently shares on social media. Inside the home offers just over 2,000 square ft of living space with six bedrooms, five bathrooms, and features like a sun room, as well as an additional finished basement. The expansive outdoor deck is perfect for entertaining or relaxing with glass railings providing unobstructed views. The open combined main level includes a modern kitchen, a stone fireplace, a seating area, and a glass staircase. Most rooms, including a spacious family room with a brick fireplace, have walls of windows and glass sliders that open right up to the outdoors, making the most of the beautiful surroundings. Throughout the home, you'll find steel beams, ample natural light, gorgeous hardwood flooring, and more. The chef's kitchen is equipped with Viking appliances, and most of the estate features a modern open layout. Cynthia's master suite also includes high ceilings, windows all around, and plenty of space. There's also a private deck furnished with a cozy table and chairs overlooking the lake. While the onsuite bath offers a spa-like experience, the upper level of the home includes four guest bedrooms and two additional baths along with several balconies and a separate guest or staff suite. Cynthia's even created a beautiful office space at her estate as seen on Instagram. Outside, the property boasts an outdoor shower, a large patio, a fountain, and a private dock on the lake. Last month, Cynthia shared a series of photos on her Instagram, capturing moments of relaxation on her back deck at Lake Bailey, also giving a glimpse of the beautiful views both inside and outside her home, even snapping a picture of a flock of geese by the lake and a deer strolling across the driveway. Describing her home, Cynthia said, "It just kind of really was right in sync to where I was mentally and spiritually in my life. I'm sitting in my bedroom now in my artwork is the view of the lake. It's incredible and so peaceful. For today, that'll wrap up our look into Real Housewives of Atlanta Star Cynthia Bailey's homes. Thanks for watching. I'm Kur the Vampire Slayer.
