Come in and savor the restful elegance of one of North Carolina's most gracious residences. Designed by John Weaver of New York City and modeled after plantations along the James River outside of Richmond, VA, this stately Georgian colonial, was built by the Hervey Evans family in 1939. As beautiful outside as it is inside, the garden area, designed by famous landscape designer, Charles Gillette of Richmond, VA, is lush and replete with specimen camellias, a swimming pool, smokehouse retreat, herb garden and fish pond. The current owner, Larry Horne, is a Laurinburg native. As a child, he would pass the house with his parents and wonder at its beauty, longing to slip beyond the iron gate, climb the winding staircase, and explore the fifteen rooms. However, it was some thirty years and a successful career as a world-reknowned interior designer in the Washington, D.C. area before his dream came true. When the house finally went on the market in 1999, Mr. Horne, knowing he would like to eventually return to live once again in Laurinburg, had the opportunity to purchase his special house. He has since restored and updated the house and brought it back to life with his exquisite design sense and creative flair. Mr. Horne has filled the house with color, hand-painted murals, stenciled floors, marble bathrooms, Italian chandeliers and rich fabrics. He blends old and new with unique art pieces he has collected in his travels throughout the world, making each room an arresting and tranquil experience.
