For the first time ever, this cherished English Tudor estate, gracefully nestled behind the gates of Fairbanks Ranch on the coveted north side, offers a rare opportunity to own a property where masterful craftsmanship, enchanting character, and exceptional privacy converge. Beautifully sited on over one acre of lush, manicured grounds, the estate is surrounded by storybook gardens and mature trees, creating a serene sanctuary with shimmering pool/spa, tranquil waterfall, and stunning bricked patios that elevate the outdoor living experience. A detached guest house with walk-in closet and garage adds flexibility and charm. Every corner of this classic estate tells a story of devotion and artistry, inviting you to continue its legacy of warmth and elegance. Designed by renowned local architect Don Edson, every element of the property reflects thoughtful craftsmanship and enduring materials from the Vermont slate roof known for its remarkable longevity, to the authentic South Carolina solid brick exterior and stone pull-through driveway welcoming you with warmth and grandeur. Inside, rich hardwood floors anchor each space with organic elegance, while solid core doors, hand-carved staircase railings and finials, and intricate custom wainscoting showcase artistry and intention woven into every detail. Soaring ceilings and mullioned windows invite the outdoors in, bathing the rooms in natural light.
