Prominently bisecting a picturesque stretch of winding, verdant Cash Smith Road is The Abbey, a historically significant Georgian manor estate, representing the intersection of classical character and modern luxury. Originally constructed in 1769, the estate belongs to the coveted National Register of Historical Places while featuring over a million dollars invested in recent improvements to ensure a seamless catering towards contemporary lifestyle demands while remaining painstakingly faithful to its roots. From the street, the main house's elevated position showcases its presence, aided by fresh exterior paint and fixtures evoking cues of a transitional colonial. Inside, The Abbey's traditional center hall layout is permeated by striking custom wallpaper and faux finishes in a truly one-of-a-kind fashion. A dignified elegance permeates the formal rooms with their ample proportions and roaring fireplaces. The home represents an uncanny attention to detail, with every square inch lined in the finest materials and assembled with the highest degree of workmanship. For instance, the family room's ceiling beams are reclaimed from the property itself, meticulously installed along with faux brick paneling. Inlaid floors, intricate hardware, and original details are found throughout, harkening back to a time of personalized construction. The kitchen's perimeter cabinets are painted in a stunning shade of blue, contrasting with the neutral center island and housing a comprehensive suite of commercial-grade appliances. Triple walk-in closets are located off of the family room, as well as a sumptuous amenity-rich bath featuring a double vanity, glass shower, and clawfoot tub. Upstairs, primary and secondary bedrooms are equally luxurious, with each featuring a roaring fireplace, dedicated bath, and a shared dressing area with double California closets. The finished top level's two mini split units augment livability, while subtle, custom lighting establishes a sophisticated ambiance. Three additional structures are found on the grounds. A two car garage has an attached office with a dedicated reception area, electricity, WiFi, and wall and window treatments. Behind a towering wall with integrated, recreated period-appropriate automatic gates is a four car garage also used as a fitness center. A suite of CrossFit equipment and mats as well as the Lululemon Mirror are found in the newly insulated and weather-proofed space. Fully renovated from the inside out, the Carriage House is self-sufficient with two bedrooms, a full bath, and living space. The sprawling grounds cover 25 acres and include two shimmering, private ponds. Breathtaking vistas along Israel Creek provide an escape and complement the verdant rolling hills. Extensive drainage, hardscaping, and systems work has been done to ensure peace of mind, aesthetic enhancement, and full connectivity. At The Abbey, a fortress of luxury and priceless piece of history, the past meets the present in a way that is both timeless and irreplaceable. This is a fleeting opportunity to own an estate that will never be duplicated.
