Description

The Higginbotham Home is a Colonial Revival residence set on approximately 1.33 acres , reflecting the quality and craftsmanship of its era.
Approached through mature hardwoods, the symmetrical brick façade features full height white columns and twin flagstone porches. Built in the 1950s for Dr. William R. and Mabel Garrett and designed by a Tennessee architect, the home is complemented by a detached three-car garage with a cupola and weather vane, and a separate approximately 900 square foot storage building.
Inside, a formal foyer introduces a graceful winding staircase, with a second staircase providing access to the upper level. Arched openings distinguish the formal living and dining rooms, while wood floors, double crown molding, crystal chandeliers, and period light fixtures reflect the homes attention to detail.
The formal dining room features a bay window overlooking the backyard, pool, and flagstone patio. The formal living room centers on a gas fireplace with a red brick mantel, while the family den has a second gas fireplace with a natural stone surround.
The floor plan includes four bedrooms and three and one half baths, including a main level bedroom suited for guests, extended family, or a home office. Upstairs, an attic game room with dormer windows offers additional light filled living space.
Built in cabinetry above many closets provides exceptional storage, and four exterior entrances offer convenient access throughout the home.
