Magnificent Gated Atlanta Estate, Inspired by Versailles’ Le Petit Trianon, to Auction via Sotheby’s Concierge Auctions

The grand estate is set to auction in cooperation with Betsy Akers of Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby's International Realty.

NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, November 12, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- A sprawling ornate palace located in the prestigious Sandy Springs residential enclave of Atlanta, Georgia is heading to auction next month via Sotheby’s Concierge Auctions. Offered in cooperation with Betsy Akers of Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby's International Realty, the home is set on 2.62 acres of manicured grounds and boasts more than 15,000 square feet of living space. Listed for US$5.995 million, starting bids are expected between US$1 million and US$2.75 million. Bidding is scheduled to open on 4 December via Sotheby’s Concierge Auctions’ online marketplace and culminate live on 17 December at The Dominick in New York City.

A supreme reproduction of the neoclassical architectural style that swept Europe in the 1700s, 1230 West Garmon Road mirrors the exterior design of Paris’s Le Petit Trianon chapel in Versailles that epitomized the trend on completion in 1772. Passing through wrought iron gates to enter the property, visitors are first greeted by meticulously landscaped gardens and a two story marble entrance hall with an elegant black marble fountain at its heart. The main living spaces exude timeless elegance, evident in the banquet-sized formal dining room adorned with chandeliers. Perfect for entertaining, visitors can explore an elegant wood-paneled library/office, a grand kitchen complete with a 10-burner gas range, a double oven, and all high end appliances, or the grand living room that opens to the walkout pool and spa terrace. An enclosed breezeway connects the pool house and the home’s main level, which includes a gym, wine cellar and family room overlooking the walkout pool and spa. Featuring seven bedrooms and 11 bathrooms, the property makes for a versatile option as a palatial retreat or an elegant setting for hosting guests.

Beyond functionality and versatility, the estate is an aesthetic wonder whose interior design captures the timeless elegance of the great European palaces. Finely crafted chandeliers float above gilded fixtures, while polished wood and lacquered marble furnishings set a tone of thoughtful opulence. Even amidst all this Old-World charm, the residence comes equipped with modern appliances and conveniences, functioning as a “smart home” for modern living.

"Homes of this European palatial style—especially ones that so meticulously honor their architectural inspiration—are a true rarity in the United States," said Akers. "The estate’s architectural authenticity and intricate design make it far more than a residence; it’s a piece of art, and for a property of this caliber, reaching a truly discerning audience is key. Sotheby’s Concierge Auctions provides us with the ideal platform to connect with buyers who value such artistry and exclusivity.”

Atlanta combines rich Southern heritage with a modern, cosmopolitan atmosphere, making it one of the most dynamic cities in the South. Known for its thriving cultural scene, Atlanta offers a variety of dining experiences, upscale shopping districts, and an array of outdoor activities. Key shopping areas like Buckhead feature luxury boutiques, while bustling markets and entertainment spaces provide a more eclectic mix. The area is also home to abundant green spaces, including parks and trails along the Chattahoochee River, perfect for outdoor enthusiasts. With prestigious arts institutions, a vibrant culinary landscape, and Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport providing global connectivity, Atlanta offers a distinctive and well-rounded lifestyle.
