Tuxedo Park, once known for its dense woods and sprawling farmlands, is one of Atlanta’s most spectacular neighborhoods. Situated just north of West Paces Ferry Road and south of Chastain Park in the upscale community of Buckhead, its picturesque setting feels a million miles from the city’s vibrant urban core just minutes away. Home to some of the most magnificent examples of residential architecture anywhere in the Southeast, Tuxedo Park represents a lifestyle that many can only dream of. It is a place where winding roads lined with century-old trees lead to lavish homes that rise up behind their gated entrances and are surrounded by meticulously manicured estate lots. Some of these properties date back to the early 20th century, adding to the area’s timeless appeal.
17 Blackland Road provides an outstanding opportunity to own a wonderfully renovated home in this highly sought-after neighborhood. Nestled onto a tranquil tree-lined lot on just over an acre of land, this home is the perfect combination of traditional charm and modern sophistication. Tucked away from the road, it boasts superior street presence with its finely landscaped, level setting – a feature that can be hard to find amidst the area’s rolling hills. Make your way from the driveway to the sidewalk and up onto the covered porch. Providing a warm welcome, it is the perfect spot to greet guests or simply sit and take in the property’s natural surroundings.
Double front doors add a touch of elegance to the entryway and lead to a spacious two-story foyer. Sure to impress your guests, this light-filled space provides a first glimpse of the home’s spectacular renovation with its neutral palette and open, airy layout. A tile floor gives way to hardwood floors that cover most of the main level, adding to the home’s character and charm. Open to the foyer is the dedicated dining room. Large enough to comfortably seat 8+, this space provides the perfect backdrop for both casual meals and formal dining occasions. A large window delivers views of the front yard and floods the room with natural light, making it the perfect centerpiece for dinner parties and holiday get-togethers.
On the other side of the foyer is the formal living room. A set of floor-to-ceiling windows across the front bathe the space in sunlight and offer gorgeous views of the home’s landscaped yard. The cozy fireplace creates the perfect ambiance for entertaining guests, as well as provides the ideal spot to curl up with a cup of hot tea and a good book. Offering seamless connection to the stunning sunroom at the rear of the home, the open layout and easy flow creates flexibility to use the spaces in a variety of ways. There is also convenient access to the expansive rear patio and backyard, allowing you to extend your living area even further.
The state-of-the-art kitchen is a joy to cook in with its gleaming granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and a large center island with a gas cooktop. Custom-painted cabinets provide a clean, contemporary look and offer plenty of storage space, while a large bank of windows over the sink brightens everything up and provides a direct sightline to the home’s outdoor living area. The breakfast bar with counter seating separates the kitchen from the family room and is the perfect spot for a quick bite to eat.
The spectacular two-story family room is truly the heart and soul of this outstanding home. The open-concept layout of the kitchen and family room creates the perfect spot for gathering and spending time together. Built-ins on either side of the fireplace provide exceptional storage space while adding a touch of character. There is also a recessed wet bar – great for mixing up drinks – and a matching niche providing storage and display space. A wall of windows and French doors envelop the room in light and provide direct access to the patio. When the weather is nice, throw open the doors to seamlessly blend indoor and outdoor living areas.
The owner’s suite is also situated on the main level and is the epitome of comfort, opulence and luxury. This private retreat features a beautiful tray ceiling, a large bay window overlooking the front yard, a walk-in closet and a wall of custom built-ins. It is the perfect sanctuary to rest and rejuvenate at the end of the day. The spa-like en suite bathroom features marble throughout and comes complete with a soaking tub, walk-in shower and double vanity. Head up to the second level to find three additional bedrooms and two bathrooms. Each of these expansive rooms features gorgeous light, large closets and plenty of space to spread out. Perfect for a home office, guest accommodations, a playroom, an exercise room and more, you have flexible options for whatever best meets your needs.
Beyond the walls of this home’s fabulous interior are equally impressive outdoor spaces. From the expansive, flat front yard to the private, rear stone patio this highly desirable lot has much to offer. The back patio is a great spot for grilling and dining al fresco. Large enough to have both dining and seating areas, it provides an incredible entertaining area. A water feature creates a soothing and serene spot to unwind and enjoy the home’s gorgeous setting. Add a fire pit and some outdoor heaters and you can virtually use the space almost year-round. If you have been dreaming about a home with step-out outdoor space, you have found it at 17 Blackland Road.
