Pike Properties

At Pike Properties, they build homes that are “designed for living, built for life”. For them, that means creating homes that manage to be both lavish and livable. Pike is a luxury residential home builder in Charlotte, NC, and in 2019 they set out to build a home that would stretch both their creative abilities, as well push their craftsmanship to another level, and this one certainly hits that mark.

Located in the Mammoth Oaks neighborhood, this home is over 4,800 square feet, spread out across three levels and has all high-end finishes and design touches you could ask for. As you approach the home, the first thing you notice is that the front entry is flanked by a set of oversized copper gas lanterns that are as beautiful as they are bold.

Stepping foot inside, white oak hardwood flooring spans throughout, and matches function with style thanks to an eco-friendly Rubio Monocoat finish. In order to preserve the clean look of the kitchen, they designed custom cabinet panels that hide both the refrigerator as well as an oversized pantry.

Wine lovers will fall in love with the custom walnut wine racks that were incorporated into both the kitchen and scullery. A bluestone terrace with gas fireplace is ever so cozy and the perfect spot for cheering on our Carolina Panthers on a refreshing fall day.

Everyone at Pike are huge dog lovers, and so whenever possible they like to cater to man’s best friend. On this project, they designed a built-in dog bowl feeding area, complete with a pot filler for refilling Fido’s water bowl in the mudroom.

Retreating into the owner’s suite is pure bliss whether you’re enjoying a soak in the freestanding tub or freshening up using the Restoration Hardware mirror.

Designed and crafted with consideration to everything and everyone, this residence defines what it means to be at home.

Nantucket, with its misty harbors, salt-kissed breezes, and centuries-old charm, has always been a place where history whispers through every weathered shingle and cobblestone street. This spring, one of the island’s most beloved landmarks, the Veranda House, will once again welcome guests, rising from the ashes of a devastating 2022 fire that necessitated a complete rebuild. Set to reopen in spring 2025, the new Veranda House is a masterpiece of restoration and reinvention. Owned by Procaccianti Companies and managed by TPG Hotels & Resorts as part of the Nantucket Resort Collection, the rebuild was meticulously overseen in collaboration with the town and historic district commission to ensure that the property retained its original federal-style elegance while incorporating modern luxuries and state-of-the-art amenities. First built in 1684, the Veranda House has stood as a symbol of Nantucket’s rich maritime legacy, its wraparound porches offering a front-row seat to the island’s ever-changing seascape. The new design remains true to its original size, scale, and architectural character, seamlessly blending historic integrity with contemporary comforts. Guests will find spa-like ensuite baths in every room, featuring Carrara marble, custom fixtures, and sleek walk-in showers—a nod to modern indulgence without sacrificing classic charm. The 19 redesigned rooms, including the Grand Harborview King with its private balcony and fireplace, exude an intimate, serene luxury. Expanded outdoor gathering spaces now offer even more opportunities for guests to soak in the island’s ambiance, whether sipping coffee at sunrise or toasting the golden hour over Nantucket Harbor. “This reopening marks a significant mile- stone, not just for Veranda House, but for the entire Nantucket community. We are deeply thankful for the community’s unwavering support in bringing this iconic property back to life,” says Paul Hitselberger, EVP of Operations for TPG Hotels & Resorts. The Veranda House is not just a recon- struction—it’s a resurrection, a tribute to Nantucket’s ability to endure, evolve, and enchant. Its doors reopen as a beacon of timeless hospitality, welcoming travelers to a place where history is honored, and every detail—from the breezy verandas to the handcrafted interiors—tells a story. For those who love Nantucket, the Veranda House is a homecoming. Images courtesy of The Veranda House.
