The home started as the residence of the gardener and arborist for the Green Estate, however the next and longest residing occupant was the Lowe family. William Lowe was a prominent A.P. Green executive and his family lived here for 40-50 years, overseeing most of the home's expansions. The home is sometimes called the "Lowe House" for this reason. Mr. Lowe was also an avid big game hunter and attended several African safaris. A photo album of his safaris is in the library and a shoulder mount of an African Eland (large antelope) taken by him remains in the Great Room. The sellers have enjoyed nextdoor proximity to Teal Lake, Green Estate walking park & the Lowe Conservation Area and they hope you'll love it too. Upstairs office is under construction, seller will credit buyer for the finish if not completed prior to closing.
