Biggest House on the Block: Modern Atlanta Mansion Hits the Market for $1.8M

A contemporary Atlanta mansion, with an ultrasleek exterior and a midcentury-inspired interior, just landed on the market for $1,895,000.

Situated in Atlanta’s Old Fourth Ward area, the five-bedroom residence was built in 2008 and is said to be “the largest-ever modern single-family home built” in the neighborhood, according to the listing.

It is also one of the rare properties in the area that offers direct access to the Freedom Park Trail.

“The home was a custom-designed residence by renowned architect Scott West for the current owners,” says listing agent Matthew Doyle, of Compass. “It is unique for the Old Fourth Ward in that it has a three-car garage. We do a lot of work with modern homes, but the level of detail found in this home stands apart from cookie-cutter homes that are popular in this neighborhood.”

The contemporary architect notes on his website, “We respect the origins of the classic ‘modernist box’ but prefer to add warmth, texture, and detail that make for unique and inviting spaces.”

The 4,546-square-foot interior boasts a floating staircase, Brazilian walnut floors, and floor-to-ceiling windows that offer a seamless transition to the outdoors.

“There are multiple outdoor spaces, and the yard has room for a pool,” Doyle notes. “There is a large rear patio off the main living level, and a rooftop terrace has cool views of the skyline. There is also a private terrace off of the owner’s suite.”

Built in 2008, the four-level “trophy home” boasts a custom kitchen with handcrafted cabinetry and book-matched walnut panels.

A nearby dining room was designed for entertaining and has in-ceiling speakers. The spacious living room is already wired for a home theater.

Upstairs, a bright primary suite has two walk-in closets, a separate sitting area, access to a private terrace, and a spa-inspired bathroom with an oversized tub and a steam-and-shower combination.

Delightfully, the place is set up to be quite the party pad. The home’s 700-square-foot roof deck already has plumbing in place for a wet bar. The next owner just needs to have it built out.

Convenient locale

The property is ideally located, just minutes from “everything cool and exciting,” Doyle says.

While ideal for use as a primary address, the residence could also be used as a secondary house.

“It’s a large home, so I would imagine it would be mostly used as a primary residence, but this type of buyer tends to have second and third homes, as well,” Doyle notes.

He believes the place will likely be purchased by a modern-home enthusiast.

“Old Fourth Ward is a melting pot, so you see all walks of life here,” he adds. The buyer “will be someone who is active and enjoys being a part of the city.”
