Laurel Creek Farm sits on 48 acres with 5 bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms, and 10,508 finished and heated square feet. Inspired by Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello, this all-brick home features Flemish bond masonry, blue slate patios, a Grand Manor roof, and a “secret” garden.
Stepping inside, the foyer introduces you to the regal atmosphere of the home. Elaborate crown molding lines the high ceilings throughout, and deep window recesses allow for abundant natural light. The extra-wide staircase, with a handmade walnut banister, leads to the upper level.
The living room opens to the billiards room, adorned with hand-cut panels of oiled black walnut and congruent exposed beams, providing a rich ambiance for entertainment. Sliding doors lead to a covered balcony-style patio for seamless indoor and outdoor living. The kitchen is outfitted with marble countertops, black appliances, and a stainless steel Thermador electric cooktop with a commercial vent.
The cabinetry and wood trim were inspired by the original pine mantle of the fireplace, sourced from a boarding house on South Church Street in Spartanburg. Adjacent to the kitchen, the butler’s pantry and laundry room feature a 6-foot farmhouse sink, built-in storage, and a half bath. A Dutch door from the kitchen leads to the 3-bay garage.
Genuwood hardwood flooring extends throughout the kitchen and butler’s pantry. A dumbwaiter connects the basement to the second floor for added convenience. In the dining room, Rosette hand-placed molding and wainscoting panels enhance the space, complemented by an ornate Georgian-style mantle over the fireplace.
A guest bedroom with an ensuite bathroom sits on the other side of the kitchen. The primary bedroom boasts a vintage mantle preserved from a mansion in Upstate New York, along with eight cedar closets, a sitting room with tongue-and-groove pickled pine paneling, and a luxurious primary bathroom. The bathroom offers generous closet space, two separate vanities, and a shared area for the walk-in shower and soaking tub.
The home’s two-story library is a masterpiece, featuring mahogany walls, decorative iron railings, and a spiral staircase. The ironworks were crafted by Berry Bate, known for his nature-inspired designs at the Grove Park Inn and Chimney Rock, NC. The library fireplace includes another vintage mantle from the Upstate New York mansion.
On the second floor, there are three bedrooms, each with a fireplace, marble bathrooms, and walk-in closets. Additional spaces include three flex rooms for office or storage use and a tiled laundry room. The second and third-floor attics provide extensive storage.
The roughed-in lower level is framed for a gym, kitchenette, two full bathrooms, a bedroom, a living room with double fireplaces, a vault, a reinforced safe room, and a large workshop. Electrical, plumbing, and ductwork are pre-installed. The climate-controlled garages accommodate nine cars—three on the main level and six on the lower level. A separate garage for lawn care equipment is also located on the lower level.
Square footage includes 10,508 heated and finished square feet on the 1st and 2nd floors, 6,700 unfinished square feet in the basement, 1,736 square feet of garage space, and 2,896 square feet of attic space. The total square footage is 21,840.
Laurel Creek Farm is a stunning example of architectural excellence, blending historical inspiration with modern luxury. Schedule a showing to explore this timeless and regal property.
