One of the most lovely lots in Greenville starts with a sweeping front vista that wraps around to the simply perfect pool enclave, surrounded by an amazing array of mature plantings. Tucked into this landscape is a wonderful home, originally built for a past president of the DuPont Co. , but now fabulously updated. (Please consult list of improvements). While this grand home has completely private views from every one of the numerous windows, the interior surprises with a newly renovated 1st floor primary suite with a dressing room that is a star studded experience. Stunning lighting, a hidden jewelry safe, bar sink with refrigerator, and an enormous amount of lit closet and cabinet storage, a personal laundry, and a private patio entrance. The bedroom is entirely electronically controlled, even to the sky light shades, and surrounded by privacy coated wraparound windows and another private patio entrance. Style is the hallmark of the new bathroom, with new windows as well as radiant heated floors. The Chinese Chippendale railing leads from the foyer to the remaining 4 bedrooms upstairs that have their own second laundry, 2 full baths, and a hidden entrance to the bank caliber safe. The floor plan is open and flows graciously from foyer to living room, with new doors to the back patio, gracious dining room and family room with bar, open to the kitchen and breakfast area and mud room (with additional water hookups). The pool house sports a sweet bathroom/changing room, bar and sink area, as well as a sheltered area for seating. The upper level spa spills into the pool, all surrounded by wonderful plantings and stately stone walls. Finally there is a new outdoor kitchen and gas fire pit, with new hardscape as well. So many fine details like the retractable screen which encloses the front door porch, add to the exceptional experience of living in this private sanctuary.
