This remarkable five-bedroom, four-bath home spans 3,612 square feet and tells the story of one of the nations most influential food industry pioneers-whose legacy includes helping bring Gatorade to the world.

Two fireplaces add warmth and character, while the spacious primary suite features its own fireplace, private balcony, and a full; bath. The home also includes split HVAC, gas radiator heat, a gas water heater, and an enclosed elevator to the second floor (currently inoperable). Generous closet space and storage can be found throughout. Outdoors, the elegance continues with a welcoming veranda with locally quarried stone patio and winding stone walkways. The beautifully landscaped 2.2-acre grounds are a true sanctuary, showcasing flowering shrubs, a sunken garden, mature chestnut trees, a grand magnolia, and Japanese tulip trees. An attached guest house offers additional potential, complete with a two-car carport and a one car garage currently used for storage and ready for your finishing touches. Recent updates include a newer roof, gas-boiler, and added insulation-enhancing both comfort and efficiency.
