This home was the seat of a large plantation which bordered
Lexington Road for quite some distance. Isaiah Tucker Irvin,
Commander of the Wilkes Guards CSA, bought the home in 1835.
With Charles E. Irvin becoming the owner, the balustrated Corinthian
portico were added along with side porches that lead into cross
hallways. High wainscoting, paneled doors, random width pine
floors, high ceilings, original mantles and beautiful staircase
area few of the architectural features. The columns of the hour
are the rarely-seen Temple-of-the-Winds Corinthian pillars.

Situated majestically atop a slight rise on six acres, this timeless
estate home has been painstakingly renovated to its present beauty!
Porches surround the home on three sides shaded by ageless magnolias.
Boxwoods line the front walk. The home proudly overlooks six park-like
acres of a variety of trees, flowers, and shrubs.
Totally renovated throughout, the home boasts four bedrooms on
the second floor with formal parlor, formal dining, breakfast
room, kitchen and den on the main level. There is a small basement
that once housed the cook kitchen. Fireplaces are in almost every
room!
