An Atlanta mansion has been snatched off the market, breaking records in the process.
The 17,000-square-foot estate, in the Bucktown area’s Tuxedo Park neighborhood, sold for $19.8 million in an off-market deal, the Atlanta Business Journal reported. That’s about $1,165 per square foot.
Ben Hirsh of Hirsh Real Estate represented the sellers, Andrew and Melissa Heyman, while Dorsey Alston Realtors’ Harvin Greene represented the buyers, Michael and Summer Tourville.
It’s the most expensive home sale on record in Atlanta, topping an $18.1 million off-market deal in 2021. The priciest transaction for a home on the open market occurred in April 2016, when businessman and televangelist David Turner bought filmmaker Tyler Perry’s Buckhead mansion for $17.5 million.
The Heymans, principals of Atlanta-based venture capital and private equity firm ASH Investment Partners, purchased the property for $3 million in 2019. They collaborated with luxury homebuilder Siegel Construction and Design, New Orleans-based interior designer Sherry Shirah and Atlanta gallery Jackson Fine Art on a makeover..
The mansion, described as “Scandinavian in style with a Japanese vibe,” features a sculptural central staircase and features an 18th-century Japanese charring technique known as shou sugi ban on its wood cladding.
Tuxedo Park is filled with high-end homes and eye-popping price tags. In December, the 3.2-acre estate at 225 Valley Road, once owned by Tuxedo Park founder Charles Black, hit the market at $11.5 million.
A 15,000-square-foot mansion in the neighborhood sold for $8.6 million in January, topping all 2023 home sales in the Bucktown area.
