Grand Southern 2 Story Colonial 5 Bedroom 3.5 Bath & 3.5 Car Garage, Pool home sits on nearly ½ an acre within the majestic West of Trail guard-gated tennis community (membership optional) known as “The Landings”. Moss-garnished grand oaks greet you as you approach the gates and continue to escort you past patches of sun, pines and palms through dappled light and pristine yards as you approach this stately home proportionally placed on a corner lot entrance of a cul-de-sac circle, inviting and exuding charm and elegance, owners enter the triple wide brick driveway to side loading garages, and guests are welcomed to the front over a brick circular driveway to the pineapple topped pillars and black carriage lights to enter through glass haint blue double doors and into the foyer. Upon entering, you know you are in a special space that is warm and inviting with recently refinished hardwood floors, chair rail, and wainscoting that wraps the walls and is carried through to the fireplaced den/family room to the left, and the elegant dining room with a chandelier and ceiling medallion to the right. Stepping straight ahead you’ll pass by the wood staircase with white railings, turned balusters, and acorn-topped newel posts, into the 20’ soaring ceiling living room where the exquisite wood work it taken to another level literally with chair rail, wall molding, upper windows with plantation shutters, and colonial detailed stacked crown molding and highlighted with multi-depth coffered ceiling punctuated by two large iron oval candelabra chandeliers.
