Property Description
Situated on a private lake in the gated, covenanted community of Browning Creek, minutes from Mississippi State University, this custom-built, Georgian inspired 5-bedroom, 5 bath, 4,880 SF brick home welcomes you with historical architectural charm amid modern appointments. Thoughtfully designed for relaxed weekends, gracious entertaining and gatherings, the home is a testament to quality craftsmanship and materials, intentional details, and careful touches that set it apart. Upon entry, natural stones, warm antique heart pine floors, and an abundance of natural light greet you in the two-story foyer and staircase. The main living area with a soaring 21' ceiling, marble framed gas fireplace, custom mantel, stately crown moldings, baseboards and millwork showcase magnificent views of the lake, evoking a sense of peacefulness. The upstairs Gallery, set off by a trifecta of arches, overlooks the entire main living area, which is illuminated via upper palladium windows over triple eight-foot double French doors. Glistening moonlit, star-filled night skies & breathtaking sunrises over the lake can be enjoyed from the main floor primary bedroom with its windows just beyond the sitting area. Chilly mornings or evenings are warmed by a gas fireplace in the adjoining en-suite, with sparkling limestone floors inlaid with granite. A large, dual-fixtured shower, separate vanity areas, private water closet, as well as a hydrotherapy spa tub translate to blissfulness and luxury living. Upstairs, the Media/Theatre Room, with surround sound system, wet bar, and mini fridge, provides sanctuary for total sensory immersion while viewing sporting events, movies, or a favorite show. Two upstairs guest wings each include two bedrooms and bath, and the upstairs primary suite is equipped with its own convenient laundry. An outdoor entertainment area with covered veranda & cooking area, and tri-layered open deck offers sweeping views of the private lake, beckons you to sit, converse with family & friends, or enjoy some quiet time. Majestic waterfowl are often spotted, as eagles, pelicans, & herons visit the lake from Noxubee Wildlife Refuge, located only 8 miles away. Many more incredible features of this lake front home await to amaze anyone looking for a peaceful retreat, primary or secondary home, just a bucolic 10-minute drive from Mississippi State University, shopping, and dining.
