Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles “2024 Home for the Holidays Showhouse Fronting both Tuxedo Road and Northside Drive, the former residence of legendary golfer Bobby Jones (and where the dream of Augusta National Golf Club and The Masters Tournament began) has been brought back better than ever by a Buckhead design dream team: Builder Firelight Homes and Tish Mills Interiors, in collaboration with architectural designer Kirk Design, and landscape architect Floralis Design. The Atlanta landmark, which sits on more than 1.5 hectáreas, was a gift from the City of Atlanta after Jones earned a Grand Slam in 1930. Most recently, it was the incredibly successful Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles designer Holiday Showhouse — the talk of the town for its incredible renovation, interior selections, masterful stone and tile work throughout, and one-of-a-kind features and first-to-be-installed-in-the-world appliances (latest Wolf range), fixtures (the only Hydro Systems tub cast this year), and design elements (imported French mantels). A sweeping driveway (with pavers from the original home creating an artful pattern) and mature trees lead to a graceful motor court with a new three-car garage. A new front door facing Tuxedo Road serves as the main entrance. The original front door has been restored and positioned as a back door facing Northside Drive and the service entrance, leading to the pool and gardens. The classic Colonial home, now measuring 7,500 square feet thanks to an expansive new addition and modernized amenities, feels connected to the 1930s, by revitalizing legendary rooms such as Jones' study and using exterior materials similar to its earlier years. The reimagined floor plan includes a two-story grand hall and new entertaining spaces, such as a family room with a fireplace and coffered ceiling, and a kitchen with an island and hidden scullery. The design-build team reshaped the flow while maintaining the symmetry of the living room, dining room, and historic paneled study. The speakeasy is the home’s best example of Tish Mills’ mastery of complementing tradition and history with design-forward style, including lacquered walls and ceiling. In the study, la 100 year old red oak paneled walls were refurbished. Drone footage from Augusta National’s hole #12 was used to make an exact miniature replica, viewable from the study. The primary suite is part of the new build on the main floor, and has the most fabulous en suite spa with steam shower and dry sauna. Your shower has four Calacatta Gold marble panels that seamlessly connect in a way that’s never been done, with all veining perfectly matching, and a by-hand routing pattern that took 150 man hours to create. The result is a visually arresting piece of art. The cantilevered “conservatory tub” is enclosed in privacy glass, which transforms from clear to opaque with a tap of a button. The tub itself is the first of its kind to be installed, anywhere in the world. The terrace level is also new, with billiards room outfitted with refrigerator, wine cooler and microwave, wine cellar, golf simulator, and gym. Fuera de, enjoy the saltwater pool and spa, pool house with outdoor kitchen and full bath, and flat, walk out lawn.
