Step into a truly special piece of Southern architecture, where timeless craftsmanship, distinctive architectural details, and gracious living come together in a home designed by renowned architect Willis Irving. From the moment you arrive, crape myrtles line the entryway, welcoming you beneath a canopy of magnificent live oaks and magnolias, while tea olives and camellias add classic Southern beauty throughout the grounds. Inside, the home is rich with character and original details that are increasingly rare to find. Beautiful hardwood floors extend throughout, complemented by solid doors, brass doorknobs, original windows, plaster walls, and a striking leaded-glass front door. The handsome den features rich, real wood paneling, custom built-ins, and its own fireplace, creating a warm and inviting retreat. Three interior fireplaces add warmth and ambiance, while one of the home's most distinctive architectural signatures is a unique window incorporated into a chimney--a memorable detail that reflects Irving's thoughtful design. Graceful arched door, original tile in the half bath, and a winding staircase further enhance the home's enduring charm. The spacious dining room is filled with natural light from an impressive arrangement of triple and single windows, creating an inviting setting for entertaining. The sun porch, with its charming tin roof and tile flooring, offers a wonderful place to enjoy a quiet morning or unwind in the afternoon. The updated kitchen combines modern convenience with the home's traditional character, featuring abundant cabinetry and storage, a walk-in pantry, and generous space for everyday living. The owner's bathroom has also been thoughtfully updated. Upstairs, all four bedrooms offer privacy and character. The primary suite is especially inviting, with four impressive 6-tall windows, its own fireplace, and two cedar-lined closets that provide timeless appeal and practical storage. A delightful window nook with a built-in seat that opens to reveal additional storage provides a storybook touch, while the fully floored attic offers even more valuable storage space. Outdoor living is equally appealing, with a pergola-covered patio featuring its own fireplace--an ideal setting for entertaining guests or enjoying cool evenings beneath the trees. The detached garage is complemented by an unfinished apartment above, offering flexibility for guests, extended family, or additional living space. With four bedrooms, three interior fireplaces, an outdoor fireplace, exceptional architectural details, and a setting filled with magnificent mature landscaping, this is more than a house--it is a true Southern treasure. A rare opportunity to own a home with the craftsmanship, character, and distinctive design of Willis Irving, where every detail tells a story and timeless elegance feels right at home.
