Atlanta- If you come to former Penthouse centerfold Lisa Taylor’s [Melissa Wolf] multi-million dollar Sugarloaf house expecting to see a cartoonish pleasure palace, you are sure to be disappointed.

Taylor, who poses and performs at strip clubs under the stage name Melissa Wolf, recently achieved local notoriety beyond her numerous appearances in adult magazines and videos. In January, Gwinnett police raided her home in one of the region’s most exclusive golf club communities, accusing her and another woman of using it for prostitution and illegal drug sales.

Neither woman has made any public comment about the charges.

So, OK, the master bedroom has red — lipstick red — walls. The spacious suite is on the main level and, accented with rich fabrics and Asian motifs, casts a sensuous mood.

“This,” said Taylor sardonically as she strolled into the suite, “is the infamous bedroom.”

Silk, velvet and brocade pillows are piled high on the bed next to a faux mink throw. And a gracefully curving chaise slopes invitingly before the suite’s fireplace, one of four in the house.

But the rest of the 10,000-square-foot brick Georgian assumes a restrained contemporary air with cozy overstuffed seating and sturdy tables.

The house overlooks the eighth fairway and the ninth tee of Sugarloaf’s championship golf course.

Taylor and her first husband built the five-bedroom house “as an investment” for $960,000 in 1999. She also still owns a house near her native Vancouver, British Columbia.

“When I moved in with my first husband, my intention was to have babies and fill it up,” Taylor said. “But that didn’t happen. We’re divorced.”

The well-appointed kitchen includes a roomy Sub Zero refrigerator flanked by two chilling drawers that Taylor, 42, uses to cool a ready supply of water, sodas and wine. A mostly vacant dual-zone wine cellar also stands within easy reach for entertaining.

Taylor said she likes the way the long breakfast bar topped with green Ubatuba granite works for fondue parties.

A casual, vaulted keeping room, one of Taylor’s favorite spots in the house, flows naturally around the kitchen. The walls’ golden-yellow tone, which she identifies as “bourbon,” enhances the soothing, rustic character of the two-story stacked stone fireplace facing a massive media system.

Taylor, who said she is “not a city person,” worked with her builder and an interior designer to achieve the keeping room’s pastoral feel and the tranquil cheer of the rest of the house.

Sparkling crystal chandeliers illuminate most of the rooms. Many rooms also contain matching wall sconces.

“I’ve got some of the most incredible lighting in this house,” said Taylor, whose wardrobe includes an extensive collection of rhinestone jewelry. “I like crystally, shiny things.”

A domed, two-story great room opens onto the view over a roomy deck in the back, where Taylor likes to relax and listen to crickets chirping on warm evenings.

She rents the house occasionally for film, photography and video shoots as well as special events, but most of the time, she shares it only with her four cats, Bill, Princess, Nikko and Turd.

Although her legal problems preclude it for the time being, Taylor said she eventually may put the house up for sale. Her renewed travel schedule and single status are making upkeep a challenge, she said.

“This is way too much house for me,” she said.
