About this home
Nestled on two private acres along prestigious Midland Road, this storybook 1928 white brick English Cottage offers a rare blend of timeless charm, nature, and thoughtful modern updates. Surrounded by mature dogwoods, blooming azaleas, perennial gardens, and trellised vines, the setting feels secluded and serene while remaining convenient to all Southern Pines has to offer. Located in the sought-after Knollwood neighborhood, known for its stately homes, large lots, and close proximity to Pine Needles, Mid Pines, and Knollwood golf courses, this home also carries a unique piece of local history as it was originally built for the son of famed Oakmont designer Henry Fownes. Inside, curated designer finishes and European influences create warmth and character throughout. Features include imported Portuguese tile, European light fixtures, Carrara Mist quartz countertops, and a Fulgor Milano 5-burner gas range. Original details such as marble flooring imported from England, hand-hewn beams, deep moldings, and hardwood floors blend beautifully with stylish additions made over the years. Offering close to 4,000 square feet with an additional 1,400 square feet of unheated living areas, the home provides an impressive amount of flexible space while still feeling inviting and comfortable. The outdoor spaces are equally impressive with a heated 40-foot in-ground pool, expansive patio areas, pool house with half bath, workshop space, and multiple private courtyards designed for relaxing or entertaining. The spacious primary suite features dual walk-in closets, a window seat with built-in storage, heated bubble tub, walk-in shower, and a stunning handmade beveled glass window. Just blocks from Whitehall Nature Preserve, this one-of-a-kind property offers privacy, history, character, and a lifestyle rarely found in Southern Pines
