Property Description

Timeless elegance meets modern luxury in this stunning Georgian-style estate, three acre park-like setting in the highly sought-after Forest Hills community. Rich in history, this remarkable home was honored as the 2013 Azalea Festival ribbon-cutting residence and later featured on the 2020 Azalea Festival Garden Tour.
Meticulously restored and reimagined in 2023-2024 by Kyle Lackey, the home showcases a thoughtfully redesigned floor plan paired with exceptional craftsmanship and designer finishes throughout. The state-of-the-art gourmet kitchen is a true showpiece, featuring marble countertops, custom cabinetry, oversized Sub-Zero appliances, dual wine coolers, and a well-appointed butler's pantry--perfect for seamless entertaining and catered events.
A grand marble entry foyer welcomes you into sophisticated living spaces, including a formal dining room and an inviting family room with fireplace. The main level offers a flexible owner's suite option with a spacious private ensuite bath.
Upstairs, the primary wing delivers a truly elevated retreat, complete with a custom Eggersman dressing room featuring a lit jewelry display and self-winding watch case, along with a private coffee bar and wine bar. The spa-inspired bath boasts a garden tub, oversized shower, and elegant marble accents. Additional highlights include a custom office and an expansive laundry suite with dual washers and dryers, plus built-in folding and workstations.
Three generously sized guest suites each feature their own ensuite baths, providing comfort and privacy for family and visitors alike. The third level reveals a hidden speakeasy tucked behind a bookcase, offering a unique and unforgettable entertaining experience.
The lower level is designed for relaxation and play, with a dedicated children's area and media room. Additional features include abundant storage, a whole-house generator, integrated sound system, framed televisions, and a comprehensive security camera system.
This extraordinary property offers a rare opportunity to own a beautifully restored historic home with every modern luxury in place--perfect for both grand entertaining and everyday living.
