A modern chateau in the leafy heart of one of Atlanta’s ritziest enclaves has just hit the market for $8.5 million.
The 2.1-acre estate lies in the Tuxedo Park neighborhood, where the Georgia governor’s mansion is located, and over the years has counted the likes of Robert Downey Jr., Vince Vaughn, and Kenny Rogers among its residents. A regal blend of Palladian French and Italian style, the home was designed by architect Brad Heppner and completed in 2013 by Benecki Homes with custom metalwork by local artist Corrina Mensoff. Glennis Beacham at Compass holds the listing.
The living room features coved moldings, an elegant fireplace and chevron-pattern parquet.

The stately manor opens into a black-and-white-tiled foyer with soaring ceilings and a statement curving staircase. Fireplaces warm the formal reception rooms and casual family spaces, which spill out into the gardens.
With wooden beams running across the ceiling, the kitchen is a chef’s dream: custom wood cabinetry contrasts with the gleaming white countertops; a marble backsplash frames the stovetop; and there’s a sleek butler’s pantry for storing all your goods. An open dining area sits just adjacent, for easy entertaining.
The primary suite is situated on the main floor, with the bedroom spilling open to a serene courtyard garden centered around a small water feature. Walled for privacy, it’s the perfect retreat for taking your morning cup of coffee or tea. In total, the abode contains an impressive seven bedrooms and 11 full bathrooms.
An indoor pool is found on the lower level of the home.

The sprawling property offers plenty of space to get outdoors as well. The elegant walkout pool leads to a covered pavilion, where there’s ample space for outdoor dining and just lounging around. If the weather’s not quite suited for alfresco hangs, a subterranean level has an indoor pool, plus a sauna for relaxing your weary muscles. Along with the stairs, there’s a discreet elevator to transport you from level to level.
The show-stopping spread is one of the most expensive homes currently available in Tuxedo Park and demonstrates Atlanta’s staying power when it comes to real estate. The ATL has long proved popular with professional athletes and entertainment industry celebrities, especially as more and more filming moves to the area. Earlier this month, the NFL star Grady Jarrett listed his suburban Atlanta residence for $6.3 million. And back in March, the legendary golfer Bobby Jones’s former Tuxedo Park estate hit the market for $9.8 million.
