Property Description
Allow yourself to be transported to the South of France and enjoy the splendor of nature in this custom Greenville home. Completely rebuilt in collaboration with Montchanin Design Group and the current owners, this home seamlessly combines historic elegance with modern luxury through hand-sourced materials and meticulous attention to detail. Aptly dubbed “Hidden Gem,” it is located along the Red Clay Valley Scenic Byway and situated on 2.56 acres of landscaped grounds that have been certified as a Backyard Wildlife Habitat by the Delaware Nature Society. Reclaimed 18th C. Ben Franklin Granite Curbstones lead from the circular driveway to the French doors that open to reveal a stunning great room with panoramic front-to-back views that blur the relationship between inside and out. Fitted with custom Douglas fir beams, a hand-made wooden mantel, and open-concept views, the great room is both grand and inviting, providing an immediate sense of visual peace and unabashed comfort. You will delight in the sunroom with French doors that open to the back terrace offering multiple indoor/outdoor living and dining possibilities. The kitchen features rare custom-milled 17th C. American Chestnut flooring, an eat-in fireside sitting area with a Louis XV mahogany mantel, limestone countertops, a butler's pantry flanked by antique English starburst glass doors, and another large sunroom with outdoor access for al fresco dining with stunning views of the 200-year-old copper beech tree. The chestnut floors continue into a half bathroom, spacious laundry room, and first-floor Junior Primary Suite with a walk-in closet and ensuite bathroom with ADA-approved doorways, sink, and shower standards. Rounding out the southern wing of the home is a breezeway/mudroom with heated stone flooring that leads to the two-car attached garage and backyard. The northern wing of the home boasts white oak flooring that leads to 3 additional ensuite bedrooms and your own personal health spa with limestone flooring that features a heated indoor Endless Pool and a new Sunlighten Infrared Sauna. Upstairs you will find 2 ensuite bedrooms both with full bathrooms and garden views through the Anderson picture windows. The spa experience continues on the first floor with the sumptuous owner's suite that was designed in the European style with an open-concept bedroom and bathing area whose focal point is a claw foot tub and antique chandelier. The walk-in closet and dressing room provide privacy in an otherwise intimate and romantic space. No detail was overlooked, from the bullnose corners to the pea gravel terraces to the roll screen Pella casement windows with working shutters and hand-crafted iron feed-dog latches. This home is a true work of art, a one-of-a-kind Hidden Gem that feeds the spirit and evokes a feeling of relaxed sophistication through an invisible connection between home and garden that is evident from the moment you crest the drive.
