Introducing the 2024 Home for the Holidays Showhouse
KNOW BEFORE YOU GO
This year’s 2024 Home for the Holidays Showhouse celebrates the past and present with a faithful redesign of the Buckhead residence where golfer Bobby Jones helped conceive Augusta National Golf Club. Builder Firelight Homes and Tish Mills Interiors, in collaboration with architectural designer Kirk Design, and landscape architect Floralis Design, have updated the storied residence to today’s standards.
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. The classic Colonial home, now measuring 7,500 square feet thanks to an expansive new addition, feels connected to the 1930s, by revitalizing legendary rooms such as Jones’ study and using exterior materials similar to its earlier years, with a new wing and amenities that surprise and provide a robust setting for modern lifestyles. Surprises, such as a sexy speakeasy, infuse the redesigned property with intrigue and poising the refashioned Buckhead home to be a hole in one.
