Knollwood is one of the original estates that set Buckhead on the path to being the desirable community that it is today. This majestic home earned its name, Knollwood, by virtue of the rolling topography and verdant knoll upon which this exceptional historic home is perfectly positioned for maximum light through large windows on all sides. Famed architect Philip Shutze designed the home in typical fashion with an innate understanding of historical architecture and an emphasis on utilizing natural light. Completed in 1930, the home has been the site of many a prestigious party, home and garden tours, and the 2012 Decorator’s Show House. Knollwood has been reimagined and renovated to fit a modern lifestyle without losing the historic character that makes it so special. Read more about the history of the home here.
The gated cobblestone drive opens to a motor court centered around a fountain and flanked by lively gardens. Double curving limestone staircases with iron railings lead to the substantial double front doors beyond which is the spacious foyer.
This home is truly a one-of-a-kind masterpiece that unites a rich history and encapsulates some of the finest design elements – both from its initial Shutze design and the subsequent improvements tastefully added throughout the years since – that one can find in a family home in Buckhead.
