A rare opportunity to own one of Henderson's most distinguished architectural homes, beautifully positioned on a private and thoughtfully landscaped 1.15-acre lot. Designed by noted architect Watts Carr, this handsome Georgian residence reflects the permanence, symmetry, and refinement associated with Carr's best revival-style work. From the Flemish-bond brick exterior, slate roof, copper gutters, and classic proportions to the gracious interior scale, the home offers the kind of craftsmanship and presence that is increasingly difficult to find. Inside, the residence unfolds with nearly 5,000 square feet of living space, 5 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, 1 half bathroom, and a floor plan that is both elegant and highly functional. Nine-foot ceilings, heavy moldings, hardwood floors, rich architectural detailing, and three fireplaces create a sense of warmth and formality without sacrificing livability. The main level includes gracious gathering spaces, a formal dining room, a library, a welcoming foyer, and a beautifully scaled kitchen with granite countertops, a center island, updated finishes, and excellent storage. A first-floor primary suite adds convenience and flexibility, while the additional bedrooms and living areas provide generous room for guests, work-from-home needs, or multi-generational living. The grounds are equally special. The landscape design is attributed to Charles F. Gillette, one of the Upper South's most respected landscape architects, celebrated for his ability to create formal gardens and outdoor spaces that feel deeply connected to the architecture of a home. Here, the landscaping gives the property a true estate presence, with mature plantings, established lawn areas, graceful transitions, privacy, and a composed sense of arrival. The exterior spaces feel intentional and timeless, offering both beauty and serenity while framing the home in a way that enhances its Georgian character. Additional features include updated kitchen and bath spaces, replaced insulated-glass windows, extensive closets and storage throughout, a two-car attached garage, whole-house generator, water feature, city water and sewer, and a setting that offers privacy while remaining convenient to Henderson amenities. The location further enhances the appeal, with Henderson Country Club just moments away. Known as a longstanding private club in West Henderson, the country club offers golf, dining, pool, tennis, fitness, and social amenities, including access to an established 18-hole golf course. For those who value architectural character, privacy, gracious outdoor space, and proximity to one of the area's signature recreational and social destinations, 1 Lakeside Drive is not simply a home. It is a legacy property with beauty, substance, and a story worth preserving.
