Built in the mid-1990s, the home has undergone renovations throughout the years, most recently the exterior entrance, with an updated driveway, brick-paved walkway and redesigned staircase.
Designed with family use in mind, the home has a unique reversed three-story layout, with the top floor dedicated solely to the master suite. The ground floor, where guest quarters are located, opens up to the rear porch.
"The property is very unique due to the location and privacy of the homesite—a very long private drive surrounded by live oaks and a well-maintained hedge row," said the home’s agent, Patrick Brumfield. It’s also on a "very exclusive street with many large and very private homes."
