Some houses turn heads. This one practically caused whiplash.
After just 24 hours on the market, the striking modern estate at 654 Longleaf Dr NE found its buyer — closing for a cool $6.225 million and reminding everyone why Buckhead’s luxury scene moves at its own speed (the fast kind).
The home had all the makings of a blink-and-you-miss-it sale: museum-grade architecture, interiors that look styled for a design magazine shoot, and amenities that lean fully into the “why ever leave?” lifestyle.
A full wellness wing, a cinematic-level theater, two private offices, and a walk-in wine cellar only scratch the surface. This estate isn’t just large at 11,000+ square feet — it’s loaded.
Compass agents Matthew Doyle and David Goodrowe brought the listing to market, with Glennis Beacham representing the buyer. Together, the trio wrapped up one of the most impressive, lightning-fast luxury transactions Buckhead has seen recently.

A newly built modern estate with architectural presence
Designed with scale and drama in mind, this 11,000+ square-foot build is one of Buckhead’s standout modern residences. Soaring ceilings, walls of glass, and veneered paneling set the tone from the moment the door opens.
Sleek interiors with a wine wall that doubles as an art feature
A floating staircase with motion-sensor lighting anchors the main level, while the central living space revolves around a double-sided Quartzite fireplace.
The dining area appears to float, the wine wall doubles as both art and storage, and the discreet wet bar is tucked neatly into the display.
The kitchen has a monolithic waterfall-edge island
The showpiece kitchen earns its title with rare Quartzite, sleek cabinetry, and professional-grade appliances.
A monolithic waterfall-edge island (complete with a sculpted sink) stretches across the space, giving the room both function and drama. Nano accordion doors blur indoor-outdoor living, opening to the terrace and the full resort setup outside.
With an inviting living area
Next to the kitchen, an inviting living space with a double-sided Quartzite fireplace provides ample space for gatherings, with additional, more intimate sitting area on the other side of the fireplace.
A dedicated wellness wing with gym, sauna
This is where the house separates itself from the pack.
The dedicated wellness suite includes a fully equipped gym, a sauna, and spaces designed to feel more boutique-spa than home gym. It’s the kind of setup that makes skipping the fitness club feel like a promotion.
Two primary suites designed for indulgence
The home includes two luxurious primary suites, both with morning bars and spa-inspired baths. Each suite brings its own take on privacy, comfort, and high-end finishes, making them equally coveted spaces.
An fun-ready lower level with a bar, home theater, and more
Lower level areas provide ample space for relaxation and entertainment, featuring more living areas, a bar, and a home theater.
The home theater goes well beyond a bonus room — this one is designed for full visual and acoustic immersion. It’s the kind of space that makes movie nights feel like premieres.
The game room and walk-in wine cellar bring the fun
Entertainment lives on the terrace level, where a game room and spacious walk-in wine cellar wait for anyone ready to play or pour. It’s a social hub built for hosting without ever having to leave the property.
Designed for real-life convenience
Beyond the glamour, the estate includes thoughtful utilities:
- Two laundry rooms
- A mudroom
- Dog wash station
- Elevator
- A four-car garage with 14-foot ceilings
- Terrace-level guest suite with its own outdoor access
Sliding glass doors open to outdoor spaces built for resort living
The backyard is a destination in its own right.
Nano doors open to a sweeping deck overlooking a saltwater pool, spa, cabana, fire pit, and outdoor kitchen — creating the type of setup usually reserved for boutique hotels. Privacy, sun, and space all line up here.
A standout sale in one of Atlanta’s most coveted enclaves
Set on a quiet street in Buckhead’s most exclusive pocket and minutes from top dining, shopping, parks, and schools, 654 Longleaf Dr NE was always poised to move quickly.
But 24 hours quick? That’s a testament to how dialed-in, rare, and impeccably executed this home truly is.
