Hollywood Glam style and gorgeous renovation in sought-after Tuxedo Park! As you drive up to this property, a stately Georgian-style home with painted brick, an inviting portico and lush gardens emerges. Built in 1940, this 2.5-acre estate that was previously owned and renovated by Jim Essary and offers a timeless Buckhead feel with a spacious layout. The welcoming foyer opens to a large fireside living room with abundant natural light and built-in bookcases. The formal dining room prefaces the gourmet kitchen with an island, beautiful cabinetry to the ceiling, top-of-the-line professional appliances, a beverage bar and a view into the adjacent casual dining area and vaulted family room. Enjoy easy access to the rear patio and screened porch from numerous rooms on the main level. The secluded main-level primary suite impresses with a spacious, light-filled bedroom, an enviable walk-in closet with floor-to-ceiling built-ins and a luxurious en suite bathroom.

The three-car garage is also located on the main level. Upstairs, discover four large secondary bedrooms with generous closets and three bathrooms with timeless design choices. But this home is more than just its interior. The outdoor space is just as impressive, with a private bluestone courtyard, a large screened porch overlooking the gardens, an elegant pool with a pool house and half bathroom and a detached guest house. The guest house includes a living room, kitchen, bedroom and full bathroom. Beautiful mature trees line the property and provide privacy, while swathes of verdant grass are dotted with steppingstones.

Buckhead isn't one market — it's a dozen small ones. High-rise living near Lenox and Phipps, quiet estate streets off West Paces Ferry, or somewhere in between — each pocket has its own price range and feel.
