In a landmark real estate transaction, Buckhead real estate broker Ben Hirsh has sold 3391 Tuxedo Road in Atlanta for $19.8 million. The all-cash purchase closed on March 12, 2024 in a private transaction in which Hirsh represented the seller. Harvin Greene with Dorsey Alston Realtors represented the buyer. This off-market deal more than doubles the highest sale of 2023, also brokered by Hirsh, and sets the record as the highest recorded home sale price in Atlanta history. The prior two record holders were Tyler Perry’s home on Paces Ferry Road, selling for $17.5 million in 2016, and a home on Valley Road which sold for $18.1 million in 2021.

In a home that is a showcase for art, this effect is one of the greatest pieces.
The sellers designed the home in close collaboration with local design/build firm Siegel Construction and Design. When reached for comment, the firm’s principal designer Kathy Siegel said, “It was the third collaboration between this client and our firm. It was a fantastic partnership and resulted in a home that is truly deserving of the value it has achieved.”
