What's special

Gorgeous windowsPalm plaster wallsConstructed of local limestoneCozy floor planHidden storagePrivate stone patioExpansive deck

A romantic, rustic, whimsical, story-book style home! Designed after the Cotswold cottages in England, this home served as an archetype for Fairmont. Built by C.S. Bartlett, and designed by Will Parker Nuzum, this unique home was constructed of local limestone with palm plaster walls. This cozy floor plan includes Built-in bookcases, hidden storage, and a private stone patio that adds to its charm. Wait until you see the gorgeous windows!! This home was purposefully designed for energy efficiency, with only one window on the north side of the house. The other windows are positioned to get morning sun and afternoon shade. The expansive deck was once home to a large pool which has been removed. The new owner could install a new pool, or install decking over the pit for loads of outdoor entertaining space. From the back patio, steps lead to a concrete pad, perfect for a gazebo and firepit. Virtual tour available. Some photos are virtually staged.
