The Atlanta St. Jude Dream Home opened to the public at 604 Silva Street in Cumming, turning a new showpiece in The Providence Group’s Palisades community into a high-profile fundraiser for children’s health care. Tours ran Saturdays and Sundays from June 6 through June 28, from noon to 5 p.m., giving Forsyth County residents a close look at a house tied directly to a national cause.

The 2026 home is listed at an estimated $650,000 and spans about 2,200 square feet, with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. Its setting adds to the local appeal: the Palisades community sits near Cumming City Center and Sawnee Mountain Preserve, placing the project in one of the county’s most recognizable residential corridors.

Entry into the giveaway costs $100 per ticket. One ticket holder will win the home, and additional prize drawings add more chances for participants beyond the grand prize. The structure makes the event part open house, part raffle, with every visit on Silva Street tied to the larger fundraising push.

That fundraising mission is the main reason the Dream Home carries so much weight locally. Money from ticket sales supports St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, which treats children battling cancer and other life-threatening diseases without billing families for treatment, travel, housing or food. St. Jude says the Dream Home Giveaway has raised more than $650 million nationwide since 1991, and The Providence Group and its trade partners have helped raise more than $5.3 million for St. Jude since the program came to Atlanta in 2023.

The Cumming home also reflects months of visible local participation. The Providence Group marked the start of construction with a ceremonial floor signing at the site on April 2, bringing together trade partners, sponsors and volunteers inside the gated community. The builder said its 2026 Atlanta goal was to sell 21,000 tickets and raise $2.1 million for St. Jude, numbers that point to the scale of the campaign now playing out in Forsyth County.
