Step Inside the 2024 Home for the Holidays Showhouse: A Tribute to Tradition and Modern Living
This year’s 2024 Home for the Holidays Showhouse beautifully bridges past and present, offering a thoughtful redesign of a historic Buckhead home where legendary golfer Bobby Jones helped conceive Augusta National Golf Club. The reimagining of this storied residence is the work of Firelight Homes and Tish Mills Interiors, in collaboration with architectural designer Kirk Design and landscape architect Floralis Design. Together, they’ve transformed the iconic property to meet today’s standards while honoring its legacy. Nestled on more than 1.5 lush acres, this Atlanta landmark was a gift from the City of Atlanta to Jones following his historic “Grand Slam” in 1930. It was in the study of the original home that
Jones cofounded and co-designed Augusta National, the home of the Masters.
The home’s sweeping driveway, shaded by mature trees, leads to a striking motor court and three-car garage. A new main entrance facing Tuxedo Road now welcomes visitors, while the original front door facing Northside Drive has been restored and repurposed as a back entrance, providing access to aquatic amenities and thoughtfully designed gardens. Throughout, subtle nods to Augusta National make this residence a golfer’s dream. Expanding the Colonial-style home to 7,500 square feet, the design-build team paid homage to its 1930s origins by restoring legendary spaces like Jones’ study and integrating materials reminiscent of its original construction. A seamless new addition introduces modern living spaces, including a grand two-story hall, a family room with a coffered ceiling and fireplace, and an open kitchen featuring a sleek island and hidden scullery.
Classic symmetry prevails in key rooms such as the living and dining rooms, while the reimagined floor plan fosters openness and flow. Yet the real surprise lies in the unexpected touches—a chic speakeasy, for instance—that add intrigue and elevate this Buckhead gem into a contemporary masterpiece. With its seamless blend of history, elegance, and modernity, the refashioned Home for the Holidays Showhouse is a testament to timeless design, creating a living experience that’s truly a “hole in one.”
