Modern mansions often provide all the glitz and glamour of a Hollywood movie set\u2014but one extraordinary Georgia residence goes beyond the mere illusion of A-list allure, offering an incredible film legacy in addition to rare architectural renown.<\/p>\n

The property, which is located in Atlanta and is on the market for $5.25 million, was completed in 2019 and has already made a starring turn in a major blockbuster movie, featuring as the home of Will Smith<\/strong>‘s character in “Bad Boys for Life.”<\/p>\n

Designed by architect Robert Tretsch<\/strong> III<\/strong> of Tretsch Architecture and built by David Adams<\/strong> of Adco Properties, the estate was created as the official showhouse for the 75th anniversary of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra.<\/p>\n

Since its completion, it has had only one owner and sits in a coveted corner of west Buckhead, where dense tree canopies and quiet streets create a secluded environment. <\/p>\n

Actor and filmmaker Tyler Perry<\/strong> once lived in the same neighborhood, according to listing agent Debra Johnston<\/strong> of Coldwell Banker Global Luxury.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe residence is a piece of art,\u201d says Johnston. \u201cIt\u2019s one of one.\u201d<\/p>\n

Set on a flat 1.1-acre lot, the property is bordered on two sides by protected land, creating a private, park-like environment that feels worlds away from Atlanta despite being in the heart of Buckhead\u2019s exclusive Paces Civic Association. <\/p>\n

\u201cHomeowners here enjoy 1- and 2-acre minimum property sizes,\u201d says Johnston. \u201cIt\u2019s a neighborhood that spans along the Chattahoochee River; it has a very park-like feeling.\u201d<\/p>\n

At first glance, the home appears modest, which is an intentional trick of the design. Tretsch\u2019s inspiration came from music, including classical pieces like Rossini\u2019s \u201cOverture to L\u2019italiana in Algeri.\u201d <\/p>\n

The selection may sound random, but the composition’s subtle build toward dramatic flair mimics the experience of entering this 6,995-square-foot estate.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Inside, sunlight filters through a three-story glass curtain wall by Reynaers of Belgium, casting reflections from the 65-foot pool. The materials themselves also tell a story. <\/p>\n

The exterior features Meridian brick and Nichiha Miraia panels, which are the first of their kind in the United States, while the interior balances both raw and refined elements, with steel-troweled stucco, exposed concrete and oak floors by Porcelanosa. <\/p>\n

Seemingly every bit of the home was chosen for craftsmanship and aesthetic.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe best trades participated in the build of this house,\u201d says Johnston. \u201cIt was truly a designer showhouse.\u201d <\/p>\n

The main level open floor plan flows between living spaces that include a full bar, game room, floor-to-ceiling fireplaces and two poolside guest suites. The primary suite occupies a private wing with dual dressing rooms and a connected study. <\/p>\n

Upstairs, two additional bedrooms offer extra space for family or guests.<\/p>\n

The kitchen, designed by Design Galleria, features custom cabinetry by Kingdom Woodworks, Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, and a hidden walk-in pantry\u2014all surrounded by marble and views of the surrounding forest. <\/p>\n

And despite the home\u2019s tranquil setting, it\u2019s close to the city\u2019s top restaurants, shopping, and cultural landmarks.<\/p>\n

Though the home is only 5 years old, the current owners enhanced it with a series of high-end additions, including a new elevator, gated entrance, and extensive landscaping that includes a massive koi pond.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey elevated it even further,\u201d Johnston notes. <\/p>\n
