1522 Steele Hill Road embraces architectural history; colonial tradition in the new century. The builder/owner sought to honor Colonial period builders using one of the premier Greek Revival houses remaining in the Piedmont, Cedar Grove plantation (circa1831) as a model. A gated entrance w/brick columns directs you down a long drive leading to the stately brick home and private 12-acre estate. Fenced pastures border each side of the drive, ready for horses. Step onto the sweeping front porch w/columns and immediately experience attention to detail and historical accuracy; exceptional touches abound, some obvious and others subtler. True to its model, the bricks were laid in a Flemish Bond pattern, alternating headers (short side of the brick) and stretchers (long side) on each course. Enter the grand hall that runs the length of the home w/exceptionally large rooms opening left and right. Governors paneling, 12? ceilings, surround sound, 7? pine board flooring, recessed lighting, 8? doorways and fireplaces in each living space room are a few of the main floor features. An office accessed through pocket doors is across from the dining room. Down the hall is the family room opposite a chef?s kitchen. Here history takes a backseat to current technology. Featuring Thermador stainless appliances, the kitchen offers a large pantry, 10? center island, custom cabinets w/tile back splash, decorator hood and a breakfast area joined to the kitchen by a brick fireplace. The 2nd floor boasts the master suite and 3 guest bedrooms w/2 full baths. Each guest bedroom offers views, spacious closets and ceiling fans. Enter the master bedroom and the lustrous hardwood floor dissolves into a large fireplace w/travertine surround and custom mantel, flanked by large windows providing further ambiance. The spacious master bedroom offers ceiling fan, crown molding, 10? ceilings, surround sound and custom door trim. This special space flows into the adjoining bath with the same type of amenities; travertine floor, heated Jacuzzi therapy tub w/travertine surround, 2 marble top vanities, make-up vanity, large walk-in frameless shower featuring body sprays, water closet and capacious walk-in closet. The 3rd floor media room has surround 5.1. A detached oversized 3-car board & batten and brick garage is adjoined by a breezeway and offers cedar doors, acid stained floor, and generous overhead storage.
