Through a twelve foot tall hedge of American Boxwood, this setting is framed by mature Ash, Osage Orange, Chestnut, Black Walnut, Linden and Poplar trees. With a period, three bay, two story barn and smokehouse, the home site of nearly four acres and three hundred feet of 2 shoreline is gracious and open with western exposure on the Miles River.

The residence, built in 1968 and designed by noted architect Robert Railey of Wilmington, consists of 13 rooms with entry through a remarkable foyer featuring a vaulted ceiling and fan windows which define this gracious and sophisticated entry. Nine and a half foot ceilings, with architectural millwork and moldings, carry throughout the first floor.

Formal dining and living rooms feature large multi-paned windows of six over nine panes allowing natural light to fill the rooms and masonry wood burning fireplaces offer a warmth for seasonal gatherings. In addition to the living and dining rooms, a cozy library, elegantly finished with notable millwork, open to two waterside porches. Screened and finished with floor to ceiling panel windows, the porches capture afternoon sun off the Miles River.
