The storybook stonework and authentic heritage feel of this more-than-13,500-square-foot home let you know if walls could talk, they’d have a lot to say. But the fine finishes of its interior, sophisticated details and modern amenities included during the expansion and renovation by Coastal Construction in 2007, set the scene for the home’s next chapter. “Nine Greenbrier is rare in that it combines architectural heritage with true turnkey luxury,” says real estate agent Cindy Raney of Coldwell Banker Realty, who describes Coastal’s remodel as a “meaningful” reimagining of the original aesthetic designed by Frazier Peters in the 1930s. “It wasn’t just a renovation, it was a continuation of a story,” adds Raney. “You still feel the intimacy and charm of the original Frazier Peters cottage, but now it’s layered with scale, comfort and modern function.”
The meandering driveway, lush landscaping and custom stonework set the tone as you enter the private, 2.85-acre property. Guests enter to a grand foyer with traditional details and gracious doorways that invite you into the formal rooms: a living room flooded with natural light by a row of arched windows, an elegant fireplace all in white, and a spacious modern dining room ready to host dinner parties. The expansive kitchen has dual Wolf oven ranges, lots of custom cabinetry for storage, two large islands for prep work and a spacious eat-in area with seating for 10. A cozy custom millwork in the den and coffered ceilings of the family room make those spaces feel intimate despite their size.
“What truly sets it apart is how livable it feels,” says Raney. “So many newly built homes of this scale can feel like oversized modern showcases, but 9 Greenbrier has flow, intimacy and warmth. You don’t walk in and feel overwhelmed by volume. You walk in and feel at home.”
Upstairs, the primary bedroom, enclosed behind paneled French doors, is its own wing. The barrel ceiling gives the space a grand feeling, but the gas fireplace with flanking window seats creates a serene and comforting atmosphere. Off the bedroom are a private office, his and hers walk-in closets, and an expansive primary bath with double rain head walk-in shower and soaking tub, allow for complete privacy.
On the lower level, a recreation room with high ceilings and hardwood floors, a home movie theater and a custom gym provide year-round amenities for the family, and a third-floor loft currently functioning as the ultimate kid zone has two built-in desks for homework, five beds across three rooms, a kids’ workbench and plenty of room to play. “The thoughtful wallpaper and soft textures give it a distinct personality,” says Raney. “But the beauty of this space is its flexibility. It also works as a quiet lounge, yoga space or overflow guest space.”
Outside, a heated gunite in-ground pool and spa with pool house, an outdoor stone terrace and fireplace and an outdoor kitchen, provide all the essentials for al fresco entertaining. “This home lives beautifully in every season,” says Raney. “In summer, it feels like a private resort with the pool, pool house, outdoor kitchen, and lush secluded grounds. But as the weather cools, the atmosphere shifts effortlessly into something equally special. With five fireplaces, warm wood tones, and richly layered textures, it becomes the ultimate fall and winter retreat. Expansive windows bring in the changing colors of the season, radiant heated bathroom floors and cozy reading nooks offer comfort and calm.”
Meticulously maintained systems and utilities, turn-key interiors, multiple home offices, private guest quarters, and lots of flex space all check the boxes for buyers right now, adds Raney. “Whether you’re gathering for holidays or enjoying a quiet snow day, the home feels both luxurious and deeply comforting year-round,” she adds.
