The Grande Dame of Greenwood’s classic homes sits impressively on almost 10 acres of lawn interspersed with pine, pecan, magnolia, oak, sycamore and azalea. This timeless beauty abounds with charm and grace inside and out. The front of the home conveys warmth and formality for fine entertaining as you enter the grand foyer. The spacious, formal living room and parlor open to the left and right respectively each with a fireplace. The parlor then opens to a large formal dining room. In addition to the lovely formal rooms the home offers casual living space designed for the modern family. The den with a fireplace and cathedral ceilings with exposed beams opens to the sunroom, a large kitchen with an island, wet bar and informal dining also with a fireplace. The den opens, opposite the sunroom doors to a lovely, covered porch and patio overlooking the grounds. The large master bedroom also resides on the main floor with his and her separate baths. The four bedrooms and three baths upstairs are accessed from the formal foyer via a beautifully crafted staircase. There is also an informal stair leading down to the more casual rear section of the home. One of the upstairs bedrooms has a fireplace and all have hardwood floors. The kitchen, den, living room, parlor, and Master bedroom all have functional, wood burning fireplaces. Hardwood floors are throughout. The porte cochre offers the convenience of covered access to the laundry and kitchen and then directly to the three-car detached garage. Attached to the house at the rear and just beyond the porte cochre is a carport. Sitting just outside the city limits at the head of the most beautiful entrance into Greenwood, it is only minutes from The Uptown, the Greenwood Country Club and the bypass with all its attendant shopping and restaurants. This landmark beauty hasn’t been offered in over forty years. Make it yours!
