Set on a double lot in Macon, this Colonial Revival combines gracious living spaces, original architectural details and thoughtful updates throughout. Sweeping lawns, boxwoods and a picket fence frame the home, while a circular gravel drive and porte cochere create a welcoming approach. The grounds, which front both Jackson Springs Road and a gravel lane, were recently enhanced by landscape designer Darrell Floyd.
Designed by architect Harry “Bo” MacEwen, F.A.I.A., the home retains many of its original details, including wrought iron accents, a dovecote cupola, multiple Dutch doors, oak hardwood floors and period built-ins.
Inside, recent updates by an Atlanta designer incorporate Chinoiserie and playful details that bring a fresh perspective to the historic interiors.
The main level includes a living room with a fireplace, a formal dining room with decorative ironwork and built-ins and a paneled study that can also serve as a fifth bedroom.
A screened porch extends the living space outdoors and overlooks legacy boxwoods.
Completely renovated in 2023, the eat-in kitchen features quartz countertops and a pantry.
The main level also includes a full bathroom and a large bonus room with laundry and a half bathroom. Upstairs are four bedrooms and three bathrooms, including a spacious primary suite with a dressing room, vintage pink bathroom and balcony access.
Beyond the property, Shirley Hills is known for its winding streets, historic homes and natural surroundings.
The neighborhood is located just minutes from downtown Macon with convenient access to Interstates 75 and 16.
