Description
Step into the charm and history of the Artist's Cottage, a unique English country-style home tucked away in the heart of historic Southern Pines. Known to locals as the former residence of renowned artist,writer,and illustrator Glen Rounds, this one-of-a-kind property offers a rare blend of character, artistry, and architectural distinction. Originally built in 1928 and purchased by Rounds in 1959, the home was designed by A.B. Yeomans, a Chicago-based landscape architect. Constructed with terra cotta tile, stucco walls, and a shake roof, the home exudes timeless craftsmanship. Inside, a sunken living room welcomes you into a warm and inviting space that flows effortlessly into the dining area and kitchen. The home is rich with detailknotty pine floors and countertops fashioned from rescued basement beams lend true authenticity, while an arched brick pantry entranceonce the original front entryadds to the home's storied past. A unique layout sets this property apart. Just off the kitchen and down a half flight of stairs, brick archways lead through a window-lined hallway to the primary wing. Once a separate guest cottage and Glen Rounds' studio, this serene suite features a brick floor, tongue-and-groove paneling, and a cozy fireplace. French doors open to a beautifully tiered brick-walled garden, perfect for quiet mornings. While the rooms are modest in size, each one is thoughtfully designed with character and charm, favoring an unconventional layout that feels both functional and full of personality. The location is exceptional: just a short walk to downtown Southern Pines for shopping, dining, and community events, yet nestled far enough to offer privacy and tranquility. Upstairs features 3 more bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms with a charming office overlooking the property. With Picasso-esque line drawings gracing its exterior, this cottage stands as one of the most distinctive homes in the area-a true reflection of the artist who once called it home.
