The Azalea Trail - HOUSE AND GARDENS

815 Briar Ridge Drive

Azaleas, impatiens, oak trees, magnolias, climbing vines and an herb garden identify the Southern roots of this unique home. A portal to another time, the front gate opens into the grace and charm reminiscent of 19th century New Orleans. Suggesting several styles of building, crude rubble walls and antique timbers pleasantly contrast with and complement sophisticated hard-troweled plaster walls, crown moldings and a stucco exterior. Babbling water from two sculpted dolphin fountains soothingly cools the shady courtyard while interior walls highlight an extensive collection of Audubon prints of regional flora and fauna. The north side features a large, glass-roofed, screened sun porch which brings pastoral golf course vistas inside and provides a fireside gathering
and dining area for family and friends. Sunset is a special time here.
