Property Description

Romantic storybook property in the heart of southern Forsyth County! Passionately designed and lovingly maintained by the original owners, this estate is ONE of a KIND. A gently winding driveway carries you through the woods, to this tranquil and picturesque homesite. Over FIVE LUSH ACRES surround a charming colonial style home where the deer and their wildlife friends play. Authentically replicated SOUTHERN LIVING design, this is the Shingle-Style Cottage by G. John Baxter. Revel in the TIMELESS beauty of traditional brick, gray cedar shake, black shutters and the quintessential red entry door complete with heavy brass knocker. Double your pleasure at the Friendship side entry, with its soft white trim, red door and brass pineapple knocker...the epitome of southern hospitality! Carefully polished DETAILS such as fluted pilasters framing the six panel front door, twelve-over-twelve windows and chimney stacks accenting the gabled roof emphasize the historic character of this enchanting home. Interior architectural hallmarks include soaring ceilings, generously proportioned rooms, rich hardwoods and subtly sophisticated millwork. Touches of southern ELEGANCE are delightfully palpable throughout, especially where the centrally located screened porch unites the main interior rooms with the exquisite rear lawn and brick patio. The entire manicured area surrounding the home is filled with three decades of MASTER GARDENER expertise and personal labors of love. A tiered garden behind the house awaits your revitalization. Of course, there is a quaint and functional storage building with electricity and water to support your landcare and land fun! The Shingle-Style Cottage floor plan features a welcoming foyer leading to a grand fireside living room with a wall of windows and french doors overlooking the sumptuous back lawn and adjoining the cozy SCREENED porch.
