A number of years ago, my brother and I were out for a Sunday drive when we stumbled upon this absurd property for sale. We couldn't really see much of the house itself because it was set quite far back from the road with a fair amount of foliage obscuring the view. We could, however, tell that it was very unique and really exquisite. Not only did the house itself appear to be beautiful and very large, but it sat upon 13 acres in the middle of a country club community (that's pretty unheard of in Greensboro). Ever since, it has become a fairly regular topic of discussion amongst my family. A true mystery. Who built this house? Why had we never heard of it before? What's the asking price?

A couple of days ago I was playing around on my Listingbook account and found it! I immediately emailed my entire nuclear family to let them know that I had details and photos and WOW! that the house is as amazing, if not more so, than we imagined. It has 10 bedrooms, 9 baths, a guest house, formal gardens...I'm in love. I'm going to try and set up an appointment to see it as soon as possible. It's just unfortunate that its price tag matches its size....Oh well, at least I'll finally get to see my dream house after all these years.
