Property Description

A.W. Mcallister the founder of Pilot Life Insurance Company commissioned Charles Barton Keen to design a country home for his family. Mr. Keen is best known for his design of Reynolda House for R.J. Reynolds the tobacco baron. This Colonial Revival home is timeless in its design. The home is grand in its scale but with a gracious inviting feeling. Spacious rooms are perfectly arranged into a floor plan that enhances daily living as well as providing a fabulous stage for entertaining. The placement of the home and the design of the grounds is attributed to Robert B. Cridland a well known Atlanta landscape designer of the era.

From the homes front terrace the lawn appears to stretch all the way to the manicured golf course of the Greensboro Country Club. In fact Country Club Drive intersects the two, only when a vehicle passes is this apparent. On the side lawn of the home is a grand slate terrace surrounding an elegant swimming pool. To one side of the terrace is a charming pool/guest house complete with a living room, kitchen, two full baths, a bedroom and a pergola covered patio. Some lucky individual or family will be able to add to this storied homes legacy as they and the home move into the next decade.
