The distinguished estate at 1067 E Kent Road has sold for $3,525,000, representing the second-highest residential transaction ever recorded in Winston-Salem and the largest home in the city.
Privately gated and enclosed by an impressive 9.5-foot stone and brick wall, the property embodies an exceptional blend of classical architectural design, masterful craftsmanship and modern refinement. The residence was exclusively marketed by Alissa Floyd of Premier Sotheby’s International Realty’s Charlotte office, serving the greater Winston-Salem region.
Originally constructed in 2001 and thoughtfully expanded in 2012, the estate was designed to accommodate both sophisticated daily living and grand-scale entertaining. Encompassing more than 20,000 square feet on 7.22 acres, the estate represents an exceptionally rare offering within Buena Vista, where properties of this scale and acreage are seldom available.
The main residence showcases timeless elegance, highlighted by Brazilian cherry flooring and a dramatic two-story foyer anchored by a custom marble fireplace. Six fireplaces are thoughtfully integrated throughout the home, while the formal dining room comfortably accommodates 20 guests. The primary suite offers a private retreat with dual bathrooms featuring heated floors, spacious dressing rooms, and generous closets. A gourmet chef’s kitchen completes the home, designed to support seamless entertaining.
An exceptional indoor pool wing further elevates the estate, offering a gas fireplace, heated pool deck, massage room, two full bathrooms, laundry facilities, and expansive lounge areas. Adjacent to this space, the event pavilion presents a premier venue for entertaining, featuring heart pine ceilings, copper roofing, and custom lighting fixtures from Arte de Mexico. With seating for up to 125 guests, a full industrial kitchen, and dedicated restrooms, the pavilion is designed for hosting at the highest level.
The outdoor living experience is equally remarkable. A saltwater pool with beach entry and lap lane is surrounded by a travertine deck designed to remain cool underfoot. A covered veranda provides sweeping views of the Winston-Salem skyline, while multiple gas grilling stations, winding brick pathways, and landscaped green spaces create an inviting setting for outdoor gatherings.
Additional amenities include a beautifully crafted pool house featuring a fireplace constructed from hand-formed brick salvaged from an 1880s R.J. Reynolds factory, along with a full kitchen, bedroom suite, and fire pit. The three-bay garage is complemented by a private apartment with two full bathrooms, a kitchen, and living areas, offering flexibility for guests or extended stays.
“This extraordinary estate represents a level of craftsmanship, scale and architectural presence that is rarely seen in Winston-Salem,” said Alissa Floyd, Premier Sotheby’s International Realty. “From the thoughtfully designed living spaces to the unmatched amenities for entertaining, it is truly a legacy property. The strong result reflects both the uniqueness of the home and the continued demand for exceptional luxury offerings in this market.”
