Property Description

Charming colonial revival by esteemed architect Harry "Bo" MacEwan, F.A.I.A. in the heart of Historic Shirley Hills. Graciously sited on a double lot fronting Jackson Springs Road and a gravel lane, a privet hedge and picket fence define the southern landscape of boxwoods and sweeping lawns recently enhanced by landscape designer Darrell Floyd. A circular gravel drive and porte cochere welcome visitors while original wrought iron accents, dovecote cupola, and multiple Dutch doors invite them to linger. Stunning interiors recently elevated by an Atlanta designer marry Chinoiserie and whimsical details that transport visitors to another time and place! Front and rear staircases enhance flow through the home's sprawling collection of intimate yet graciously proportioned rooms with fine original detailing. The main level includes oak hardwoods, period built-ins, a living room with fireplace, formal dining room with decorative ironwork and built-ins, paneled study or fifth bedroom, and screened porch embraced by legacy boxwoods. Eat-in kitchen with quartz countertops and pantry was completely renovated in 2023. Main floor includes one full bath plus a large bonus room with laundry and half bath. Four bedrooms and 3 baths comprise the upper level and include a vast, sunny primary suite with dressing room, vintage pink bath, and balcony access. The winding streets of Shirley Hills support a vibrant community of engaged residents in a bucolic natural setting just minutes from downtown Macon and Interstates 75 and 16. An extraordinary opportunity to live an elevated lifestyle in a landmark historic home!
