About This Home
Step into a piece of Piedmont history. This one-of-a-kind estate sits on 1.75 acres in the heart of Colfax, offering over 5,000 sq ft with 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, an attached two-car garage, and a detached two-car garage all wrapped in character and craftsmanship that can’t be replicated.
The home’s storied past traces back to its original owner, Paul Ciener, the beloved local figure behind the Paul J. Ciener Botanical Garden in Kernersville. His legacy lives on in the lower level’s original Ford wallpaper, preserved as a true collector’s piece for automobile enthusiasts and history lovers alike.
Outside, mature peach, fig, blueberry, and pecan trees grace the grounds. Just around the corner from the Piedmont Farmers Market, you’re steps from fresh produce, handcrafted goods, and the tight-knit community feel that makes this corridor of Guilford County so special.
Homes with this much history, land, and livability rarely come to market. Come experience it for yourself
