Coming Soon - currently the Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles "Homes for the Holidays Showhouse" November 21 - December 15. Fronting both Tuxedo Road and Northside Drive, the circa-1929 residence of legendary golfer Bobby Jones (and where the dream of Augusta National Golf Club 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 acres, was a gift from the City of Atlanta after Jones recorded a "Grand Slam" in 1930. In the study of the original residence, Jones cofounded and codesigned the home of The Masters golf tournament. A sweeping driveway and mature trees lead to a graceful motor court with a three-car garage. A new front door facing Tuxedo Road serves as the main entrance. The original front door facing Northside Drive has been restored and positioned as a back door leading to the pool and gardens (with nods to the iconic grounds of Augusta National). 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. Openness prevails in the reimagined floor plan that 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.
