55 Linden Rd, Pinehurst, NC, 28374

Standing at the corner of Linden Road and McCaskill, The Mayflower Cottage (circa 1917) reads like a piece of Pinehurst history reimagined for contemporary living. Set on a generous 1.15‑acre parcel in Old Town, the estate comprises the main residence (over 4,400 sq ft of primary living space within a total 5,286 sq ft footprint) plus a detached three‑car garage with an 880+ sq ft guest cottage—ideal for extended family, long‑term guests, or a private office suite.

Inside, the house balances period character and modern systems. The formal dining room is anchored by a coffered ceiling that gives dinner gatherings a sense of occasion, while the expansive living room gathers around a natural gas fireplace for relaxed evenings. The chef‑caliber kitchen is appointed with luxury stainless‑steel appliances, a breakfast bar, three sinks and a cozy breakfast nook with a dedicated coffee bar built for slow starts and neighborhood conversation. A first‑floor family room, a full bath and powder room, plus an oversized laundry room complete the main level’s practical layout.

Below, the unfinished basement is more than storage—it’s prepped for future build‑out with a full dehumidifying system and already houses a sauna and a wine cellar, offering hands‑on potential for a wellness wing, recreation area or fine‑cellar expansion. The property is also equipped with a hardwired whole‑house generator for year‑round peace of mind.

The detached guest cottage above the garage expands the estate’s flexibility: a one‑bedroom suite with its own living area, kitchen and office provides private quarters for visitors or rental income opportunities. Dual driveways from Linden Road and McCaskill enhance access and circulation across the corner lot.
