In the summer of 2012, Spartanburg Magazine told the story of how this house came to be, under the headline "Home of love, happiness and life."
It began with an internet search for elegant Southern estates. The house that answered sat inside Sugarloaf Country Club outside Atlanta. The owner drove down with a new camera, photographed it from every angle, then tracked down the architect who had designed it, and he sent her the floor plans. Back in Spartanburg, her builder took a design drawn at about 8,500 square feet and scaled it to a house a family lives in every day, without losing the colonnade, the center hall or the two-story family room.
The feature walked through the rooms that still define the house: the gourmet kitchen and its in-wall Miele coffee system, the bar between the kitchen and the family room, the suite on the main level that has its own way in, the media room upstairs and the pool beyond the covered brick terrace.
