It's all about the stunning architecture in this elegant home on 5 acres off Pinehurst's prestigious Linden Road. Ceiling height in various applications, depending on the room, varies from 14 to 16 ft. with clerestory lighting in the upmost angles. Glowing with light on the gloomiest days, the residence was designed by West coast architect Robert Clark as his personal home. (He also designed Julie Andrew's home in LA). The living room features an oversized fireplace flanked by bookshelves and open in the upper reaches to allow light from the kitchen clerestory to shine through. A sunroom wrapped by floor-to-ceiling windows features a baby grand piano with a Calder like chandelier, space that could also serve as a dining room. A very private wing houses the master bedroom with tray ceiling, window seat, two walk-in closets and dressing table nook and totally charming bathroom. The kitchen, a favorite room of the owners, is an expression of their creativity with the enclosed fireplace, custom made metal cabinets, pantry doors and dining room cabinet doors built in Knoxville Tennessee, driftwood finished cabinetry and leatherwood marble countertops with waterfall edges. The kitchen opens to a beautifully landscaped courtyard terrace with a pergola and is divine spot for outside dinners. A quiet guestroom with soaring ceiling height and upstairs studio bedroom, with seating area complete the north wing. The 2 car garage has a Christmas storage closet and large potting shed with interior and exterior doors. A fenced dog yard is also accessible from the garage. The courtyard terrace has steps to two lower bricked terraces, equally attractive and a pathway to the idyllic two stall barn, recently built and designed in keeping with the look and angles of the residence. A gazebo with heat and air serves as a tack room. 5 paddocks, a round pen, hay storage, fencing complete the farm. Twin Oaks is named for the massive live oaks at the entry of the farm.
