Introducing a grand Buckhead classic, brilliantly reimagined by Buckhead Development and Tish Mills Interiors. With an eye toward honoring its history and stateliness, the design-build team fused architectural pedigree with modernization to effectively create a home that lives like brand new. Built in 1955, this fabulous estate is happy and bright, shining more beautifully than ever. Every detail reflects a masterful renovation, starting with the original front door, restored and fitted with replated decorative knobs. Inside, natural light plays a starring role—spaces have been opened dramatically, with new massive walls of steel windows and doors washing the interiors with sunlight. Removal of walls now allows the curves of the foyer’s staircase to make an elegant statement, leading the eye up to the striking leaded-glass skylight. Reclaimed wide-plank white oak flooring spans the main level, with a contemporary mitered chevron pattern in the foyer to set a tone of refined craftsmanship. Simplified moldings and chic trimwork offer a lighter, more modern aesthetic, while the six gas fireplaces received sleek mantle upgrades. The formal dining room now opens to its own courtyard and kitchen garden, and the main level study is both sophisticated and comfortable.
The kitchen is a masterpiece by Design Galleria, centered around a “Peacock Blue” La Cornue “CornuFe Series” range beneath a custom hood. Enjoy beauty and function with marble countertops, Baldwin hardware, Miele refrigerator/freezer, wine storage, and adjacent scullery with two additional ovens, ice maker, and prep sink. The main floor is ideal for hosting on a grand scale, with a spacious keeping room and breakfast area, plus new steps from the kitchen leading directly to the pool. The accordion-style steel doors open to a balcony overlooking the garden and pool, a perfect spot to set a bar for a party.
The primary suite on the main level is a dream for two—enter from a dramatic vestibule, and immediately notice the new barrel-vaulted ceiling. Dual bathrooms and closets are on either side of the hall, both exquisitely outfitted to rival any spa—in one, find an antique mirrored wall and one-of-a-kind tub sourced from Europe and carved from a single block of marble (the only piece of art you need in that space!). Both are all marble, featuring mosaic marble “rugs” and spacious showers. Within the primary suite, find a cozy sitting room with fireplace, and a sun-drenched conservatory-style space with motorized shades and dynamic views of the pool and lush grounds. Upstairs, all bedrooms feature smartly reconfigured closets and marble en-suite baths, and the gracefully opened hallway leads to a main laundry room with double washer and dryer.
The terrace level offers every amenity: a private guest suite with fireplace and outdoor access, morning bar, recreation room, wine cellar, and large gym finished with nickel gap paneling and gym flooring—all just steps from the pool and spa. The 1.72+- acre grounds of this home are quite spectacular. The English gardens are tailored, while a new, flat grass yard is the ultimate play space. The pool is surrounded by turf and bluestone pavers, and has been re-pebbled and redesigned with an updated spa. The gazebo has been transformed into an entertaining porch, also perfect for birdwatching. A new outdoor kitchen and restored fireplaces, plus new sophisticated landscaping touches throughout, create a uniquely tasteful and functional outdoor space.
Beneath the beauty, the home is effectively new: spray foam insulation throughout, all new plumbing and electrical, tankless water heaters, new HVAC systems, and a modern alarm system. Parking is plentiful, with a brand new carport (easily enclosed, if preferred), a single-car garage with EV charger (near the guest suite for a private entrance), a two-car garage with an organized tool room, discreet service entrance via a cul-de-sac, and dedicated bike storage area.
