Atlanta luxury real estate: What’s ripe on The Peach State’s market?
Waldorf Astoria Atlanta Buckhead's 'one and only' duplex penthouse hits the market for $14M
‘Mansion Global’ takes on the city of peaches: Atlanta
‘Mansion Global’ tours beautiful luxury high rises overlooking the glamorous city.
The bustling city of Atlanta, Georgia, home of America’s second-busiest airport and a great deal of Fortune 500 companies, is also the site of some of the country’s most lavish luxury listings.
FOX Business’ "Mansion Global" toured two locations on the city’s market, beginning with a penthouse duplex on floors 57 and 58 of the Waldorf Astoria Atlanta Buckhead.
The four-bed, five-bath unit overlooks Atlanta’s famous Peachtree Road with 360-degree views. The nearly 8,300 square foot home is listed at just under $14 million.
"This is a one-of-a-kind home," listing agent Sam Morgan shared. "We call this the one and only because it truly is in Atlanta. It’s never been on the market before. I would imagine it would be a very long time before it’s ever on the market again so it’s truly a once in a lifetime opportunity."

Listing agent Shanna Smith pointed out the home’s unique accents, complimenting the designers for creating a space that will "stand against time." The style of the home mimics that of an old Virginia farmhouse, influenced by the homeowner’s alma mater – The University of Virginia.

The center point rotunda above the foyer was designed after the university, as well as Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello. Meanwhile, the homeowner and architect hand-selected wood from Cyprus, Georgia to incorporate in the master study and throughout the home.

Smith credited the duo for being "really thoughtful" in designing the home to not only cater to children with built-in bunk beds and exclusive playroom space but to grow up with the family once the children leave the nest.
The house does not fail to entertain, with a parlor, study and multi-faceted dining area included on the main level. Take the indoor elevator down to enter into the 700 square foot wine cellar that’s fit to hold 5,000 bottles.
