Property Description
Timeless Southern Elegance Meets Modern Luxury in this One-of-a-Kind Georgian Estate Featured on the pages of Southpark Magazine for design, framed by the stately symmetry of classic Georgian architecture, this exceptional five-bedroom, seven-bathroom home is the very essence of Southern sophistication. From the moment you arrive onto the 2.72-acre estate, you're greeted by a sense of charm and hospitality that is unmatched. Step into the grand two-story foyer where floor-to-ceiling wainscoting panels set a tone of quiet luxury. Designer lighting illuminates the stunning craftsmanship and curated design details that unfold throughout. Designed for both gracious entertaining and everyday ease, the home offers a thoughtfully flowing floor plan, complete with a formal living room that has been professionally lacquered, with gas fireplace, an intimate family room with custom built-ins and wood-burning fireplace, a bourbon/wine room that has been insulated for temperature control, and a formal dining room - dressed in custom draperies made from original artwork by Charlotte's Windy O'Connor and a one of a kind chandelier handcrafted by Raleigh artist Louise Gaskill, adding the perfect finishing touch for entertaining. The heart of the home is its show-stopping kitchen - featuring white marble countertops, a royal blue La Cornue CornuFe110 range with brass and stainless accents standing as a stunning centerpiece, flanked by Sub-Zero and Miele appliances seamlessly paneled to blend into Knot Yet custom cabinetry. Custom fretwork echoes throughout, from transoms and kitchen details to custom woodwork that lends both texture and tradition. A hidden walk-in pantry and Kohler pot filler enhance everyday luxury, while a Visual Comfort Paris Flea Market chandelier brings vintage flair to the breakfast area. Downstairs also features the oversized primary suite with yet another gas-burning fireplace, en-suite owner's bathroom, and custom walk-in closet. Upstairs, this remarkable home offers 4 secondary bedrooms all with en-suite bathrooms, thoughtfully designed with marble-topped Worlds Away vanities, classic tile, Delta Vero faucets, and Kohler cast iron tubs, a large bonus space, an additional office or family room for even more living space, and a convenient walk-up attic to provide additional storage. Two additional powder rooms downstairs each offer their own moments of design brilliance: one with a Scalamandré zebra-print wallpaper and a striking Greek key vanity; the other with Phillip Jeffries Imperial Gates grasscloth, a soft blue high-gloss trim, and an antique console-turned-vanity. Outside, you'll find a serene screened porch perfect for slow Southern mornings or twilight gatherings, along with almost three acres of both wooded property and usable yard spaces. This is more than just a home - it is a statement of enduring style and a one-of-a-kind opportunity for its next owner.
