Finished to a standard 12 South hasn't seen. The foyer opens with hand-painted Gracie wallpaper and a sculptural spiral staircase, lit from above by a Niermann Weeks crystal chandelier — and every room that follows keeps pace: Pierre Frey, Holland & Sherry, and Phillip Jeffries on the walls, Apparatus Studio overhead, custom Erden alpaca underfoot in the primary. Outside, a granite water wall sets the tone for the entire courtyard — limestone below, a covered porch, full outdoor kitchen, and fire pit terrace built for every season. Behind the walls, the build matches the finishes: whole-home Generac, Lutron controls, solid-core doors, and a fully encapsulated crawl space, plus a gym with its own ensuite. All of it steps from everything 12 South has to offer.
