The newest peach of Bravo’s Real Housewives of Atlanta, 42, took the Bravo cameras through her sprawling 21,439-square-footage property, named Sterling Hall.

“We’ve had former presidents stay here, even the governor has hosted a party here,” Morton shared while standing atop the three-level floating staircase in her home’s foyer.

The prestigious $9 million mansion, located in the Kingswood neighborhood, includes eight bedrooms, eight bathrooms, seven and a half half bathrooms, and a four-car garage. Guests are welcomed into the home’s opulence with a chandelier made with baccarat crystals (others in the home don Swarovski crystals) and marble flooring that was cut and blasted on the property.

“Some of these same designs can be seen at the St. Regis,” Morton added, “so I’m sure you can tell that that’s probably one of my favorite hotels.” The luxury hotel brand, whose designers also worked on the home, is the inspiration for interior features including a vintage elevator and a home bar in the basement that includes Jerusalem gold stone tiles.

Many of the house's fixtures come with a rich history, such as the living room’s 200-year-old fireplace from France. The one in the kitchen is over 300 years old and was flown in from Spain. Also included in the kitchen are dual islands and custom crown molding that cost over $300,000.  

"It's an eight-piece molding, so they came in and it was a 12-man crew, and they literally did each piece at a time," she explained of the opulent ceiling. "It's not just one piece, it's stacked."

More modern touches of the Georgia estate are the outdoor swimming pool, a wine cellar, a replica of the iconic Fox Theater, and her woman’s hideaway with vaulted ceilings and pink-tufted furniture.

Morton continues the tour on the next floor in the train room, which houses a hyper-realistic town – with Americana landmarks like the original McDonald’s restaurant, a Ford manufacturing plant, and a carnival – and a fully functioning model train.  

The RHOA star notes that her children — daughters Shya, 6, and Shiloh, 2 — whom she shares with her husband, Gerald Mwangi, 63, spend the most time in the room. “I’m the conductor, all aboard!” she declares as she watches the train move along the tracks. 

The tour continues through the primary bedroom she shares with Mwangi, which features a custom headboard with the couple’s initials embroidered into the fabric and another crystal chandelier.

“I did Versace all the way to the ceiling,” says Morton, as she leads the way to the terrace through doors in the bedroom. “Every one of our levels has its own balcony space.” 

From the bathroom, which features a golden telephone-shaped shower head, the proud mother and wife maneuvers through her husband’s closet to a circular elevator in the corner. “Can you believe his closet was bigger than mine? I was like, no, that’s not going to work,” she says, as she proceeds into the elevator that descends into a full closet room. 

“You know I had to save the best for last,” Morton adds with a smile. “Maybe not the best for my husband, but the best for me.”

She goes on to reveal her favorite accessories from her jewelry island in the middle of the room, which included the Christian Louboutin shoes from her wedding (“I try to wear them every anniversary,” she says), her first Rolex, Van Cleef bracelets, and a Chanel broach. 

Although some detractors assumed that the reality star, who made her debut on the season 16 premiere of RHOA, bought the home for the show, she maintains that this is the lavish life she’s always lived. “I guess I don’t pop my ish like people say,” she says.

In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Morton reveals that she and her family have lived on the property for about four years and have spent over $1 million just on the furnishings of the home. 

“This is my dream home,” she says, though she mentions her husband wanting to buy the property next door and expand on their abode
