Exquisite estate once owned by Elizabeth Arden lists in South Carolina. Take a look
The former summer estate owned by cosmetics mogul Elizabeth Arden has sashayed its way onto the market in Summerville, South Carolina, for $2.295 million.
The exquisite property, with a main house stretching over 7,400 square feet, was built in 1897 by A.J. Baird for a Charleston attorney named Samuel Lord. The home was purchased by Arden, who changed the color of the front door for each season, the listing said. However, now, the door remains red – the signature color of the entrances to her salons and the name of one of her more popular perfumes.
“With Charleston-style double piazzas, this property boasts timeless vintage details and exudes welcoming, southern charm,” the listing said. “The home has five bedrooms and features soaring 12-foot ceilings, original heart pine floors, hand-carved moldings, six fireplaces, two laundry rooms, an elevator, and a spacious study on the first level.
The chef’s kitchen is equipped with custom cabinetry, a Viking range and a spacious pantry. A designated bar room is located off the kitchen and dining room. A picturesque exterior accentuates the manicured grounds, pool house with kitchen and three separate cottages.”
Outside the main house is a pool and two gazebos.
Arden, who sold the home in 1954, opened her first beauty salon in 1910 and started selling her products internationally five years later. By the time of her death in 1966, Arden was a household beauty name who had 100 Elizabeth Arden salons worldwide, Biography said.
