Restored and updated with the highest quality materials, this home sits on a beautifully landscaped 2.55-acre lot just a mile from the vibrant Guilford Green.

The striking family room, a newer addition to the home, features a fireplace constructed with stone sourced from the property. For guests or additional rental income, the charming 1,225 square foot Guest House has been thoughtfully remodeled and includes a high-end kitchen, a magnificent marble bath, a murphy bed, a sleeping loft, and a soaring two-story open living area.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
