From the Zillow listing:
Welcome to Lauroak. Named for the abundant mountain laurel and oak trees on the property. This distinctive home was designed by noted Southern architect William Wallace in the Colonial Revival style. Built by local Bassett dentist, Dr. Andy Lipford and his wife, Lelia, in the early 1950’s, served as the homestead for the large, active Lipford family for over 70 years. The five Lipford family enjoyed hiking in the woods, playing at the creek, and working in the yard. The site has been the scene of multiple family events including Thanksgiving dinners, Christmas celebrations, teen-age get-togethers, dinner parties, and even a wedding. The home, built on 30 acres of wooded property, also zoned A1 agricultural right in the heart of Collinsville, is constructed with handmade bricks, hardwood floors, and multiple design features inspired by Williamsburg.
