Stately Southern brick residence designed by renowned architect Frank McGehee, gracefully set on 1.8 acres with a swimming pool and charming screened pool house--an exceptional offering in one of Greenwood's most established settings.
This 4-bedroom, 3.75-bath home is defined by its scale and craftsmanship, featuring 10-foot ceilings, classic crown molding, and beautiful 9-over-9 windows with concrete sills. The main level offers formal living and dining rooms, a guest bedroom with full bath, and a renovated kitchen with beamed ceiling, double ovens, and abundant cabinetry. A breakfast room, sunroom, and utility room add both comfort and functionality.
Upstairs, a gracious staircase leads to a wide central landing, four bedrooms, three private baths, and a richly appointed wood-paneled study--spaces that reflect the home's timeless design and livability.
Built for George Durden Pillow and Frances Dale Pillow, this residence carries a remarkable legacy. Mr. Pillow, a Mississippi State graduate and one of the last athletes to letter in four sports, was inducted into both the Mississippi State and Mississippi Sports Halls of Fame and served in numerous civic leadership roles throughout the region.
Mrs. Pillow was a visionary in cultural and civic life across Mississippi--serving as President of the Garden Clubs of Mississippi, leading the development of the state Garden Club Headquarters, and contributing to preservation, beautification, and community initiatives statewide. She was also honored as Mississippi Mother of the Year.
Her belief that ''flowers and greenery are not luxuries, but necessities'' is a philosophy that resonates in the setting and spirit of this property.
Still held within the original family, this home represents a rare continuity of ownership--an enduring testament to its quality, design, and significance.
A timeless Southern residence offering not just a place to live, but a place to carry forward a legacy.
