This historically registered landmark estate in River Oaks illustrates the enduring design of revered architect Birdsall Briscoe.

Listing agent Laura Sweeney with John Daugherty, Realtors says the property is situated on more than an acre of impeccably landscaped grounds and is enhanced by majestic oaks that frame the exterior facade.

She adds that the home has been respectfully and immaculately restored by the current owner utilizing the finest materials, and has been earned numerous accolades and recognition in various publications.

The property offers three dwellings, with five gardens including lawns.

The three-story main house is stunning throughout, from the elegant entry and reception hall to the salon and paneled library.

Outside, the property showcases multiple gardens, pristine landscaping, a pool and additional living/entertaining venues.

The pool is the focal point of the grand lawn. The “Raffles” pavilion features a bar, breezeway and lounge, and a beautifully designed summer kitchen is highlighted by some of the massive trees that shade the property.
