425 Hillcrest Drive, High Point, NC 27262

One of Emerywood's first homes, and among the finest Colonial Revival homes in High Point. A semicircular columned portico with a Chinese Chippendale balustrade, blind arches with garlands and urns and a tile hipped roof set a formal stage, yet the floor plan was modern for its time, with open rooms and the entrance shifted to a side porte-cochere. Ten-foot ceilings, deep plaster moldings, and red oak floors bordered in walnut and sycamore give the rooms their character. A completely remodeled kitchen with Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances and remodeled baths bring it up to date, and two newer HVAC systems and a long list of recent updates mean the hard work is done. Four large bedrooms include a primary with its own fireplace, and a finished attic and a basement with a private entrance add room to grow. On over half an acre, a sunken garden with original fountain sits behind the three-car garage and its 2BR/1BA apartment. The Lucy and J. Vassie Wilson House. Owners are licensed NC Brokers.
