A fully remodeled 1930 English Manor in Atlanta’s coveted Tuxedo Park neighborhood is on the market for $11.5 million. Top hat and tails are optional!

The more-than-12,000-square-foot mansion at 225 Valley Road was once home to Tuxedo Park founder, Charles Black Jr.

“His father acquired 600 acres north of Atlanta in 1911; and as a builder, Charles Black Jr., used 225 Valley as a show house example of what he was capable of building,” says listing agent Katie McGuirk. “The 600 acres eventually became known as Tuxedo Park, with many of the city’s most magnificent mansions located here today.”

The affluent neighborhood is listed with the National Register of Historic Places and has been home to a number of famous residents over the years—including Kenny Rogers, Vince Vaughan, and Robert Downey Jr. It’s also the location of the 24,000-square-foot estate known as the Georgia Governor’s Mansion.

Beyond its famed location, the home itself is a stately wonder that fuses historic charm with modern comforts.

“The current owners engaged Ladisc Fine Homes and Wolf Design Group to renovate the bathrooms, family room, primary bedroom, and hard surfaces throughout the home and guest homes,” McGuirk says.

A fully remodeled kitchen with marble countertops, plus two wine cellars, a La Cornue range, and a custom bar are also on the long list of upgrades.

“All of the recent renovations were tastefully done,” assures McGuirk. “They modernize the home without taking away from the character of its original architecture.”

With a grand total of nine bedrooms, 8.5 baths, and two guesthouses, the more-than-3-acre property is also well equipped for large gatherings.

“The property comes with pickleball, padel, and basketball courts, all with outdoor lighting, a bar area, and a saltwater swimming pool,” McGuirk says. “There’s also a putting green, dog run, pool house, and three gated entrances with a circular drive and six-car garage.”

The estate is convenient to the city’s top schools and offers close proximity to the high-end shopping and fine dining of the Buckhead Village District.

But if you’re not quite ready to commit, you could even try before you buy. The home is also being offered as a rental for $45,000 a month.
