Executive-style single-family homes on spacious lots
Stately architecture is the norm in this neighborhood, which features single-family homes from the 1980s through the 2010s. “They’re mainly executive-style homes,” says Beth Belcher, a Realtor with Re/Max Executives Carolinas. “Which is to say, they’re traditional two-stories with full brick siding and kind of a formal look to them. Some of them have walkout basements and parcels close to half an acre.” You’ll also find plenty of Colonial and Greek Revivals and Craftsman-inspired transitionals, all with column-framed entryways. “The look of the neighborhood is timeless elegance,” says Anna Fenno, a Realtor with Helen Adams Realty, who adds that mature trees shade the roomy yards here. Living space is also ample, averaging nearly 4,000 square feet, which is significantly above the national average.
