Arguably one of the most upscale neighborhoods in Buckhead, Tuxedo Park has a rich history that goes deeper than many may realize. This early Atlanta suburb was only woods and farmland at the beginning of the 20th century, but that quickly changed. Atlantans began building homes along Paces Ferry around 1904; many were used as summer or country estates with farm animals and extensive gardens. Tuxedo Park expanded north several blocks from there and has kept its reputation for refined Southern elegance ever since.
With its historic mansions and picturesque landscaping, Tuxedo Park is aptly named for this idyllic neighborhood of magnificent residences. In fact, some of the finest estates in Buckhead are located in the Tuxedo Park neighborhood, and although the city of Atlanta has grown to surround this once-remote area, the neighborhood still maintains an aura of seclusion and escape. The manicured grounds and varied architecture of the homes give the neighborhood a formal air befitting its name.
3488 Knollwood Drive offers an opportunity to live on one of the most coveted streets in Tuxedo Park. This classic Clement Ford-designed, traditional brick home is nestled on a picturesque 1.6± acre lot, offering peace and tranquility in a stately wooded setting that is just moments to award-winning schools and some of the city’s best shopping, dining, parks and entertainment.
The property’s winding driveway curves elegantly toward the front entrance. Featuring a welcoming portico, the home’s entryway has a half-moon transom window above a half-lite wood storm door that floods the foyer with gorgeous natural light. Boasting detailed molding and hardwood floors, the expansive foyer is the perfect introduction to this warm and inviting home. Sitting off to the right is the banquet-size dining room. With views of the front yard, this elegant space can accommodate 12+, making entertaining a breeze. Imagine the fantastic dinner parties you can have!
The luxurious Poggenpohl kitchen is sleek and bright, with a wall of windows that bathe the space in light. Featuring a double Sub-Zero refrigerator and a freezer, a wine fridge, a wraparound island, a stone countertop and more, this kitchen is a chef’s dream. One end of the kitchen opens to a gorgeous sunroom that overlooks the expansive rear grounds and leads to a beautiful patio, expanding your living space outdoors and extending sight lines outside. This sunroom is a wonderful place for morning coffee or afternoon tea and is sure to become a favorite spot to relax. Just moments away is the patio, ideal for grilling, dining al fresco and entertaining under a canopy of trees that provides welcoming shade during the warm summer months.
Also, on the main level is a handsome study with judges paneling. Grab a book off one of the built-in bookshelves and spend time reading by the cozy fireplace or use the space as a home office or comfortable family room/den. Adjacent to the study is a formal living room with a fireplace, perfect for gathering with guests and socializing before dinner is served. The main floor owner’s suite offers his and her bathrooms with a shared double-entry shower, stone countertops, a luxurious soaking tub and a walk-in closet. An additional bedroom with an en suite bathroom is perfect for guests and completes the main level.
Take the stairs to the second story to find two additional bedroom suites, as well as a computer room/study off the upstairs landing and an additional bonus area. This level provides flexibility to use the spaces in a way that best meets your needs.
