Twenty-seven architect-designed residences adjacent to historic Buena Vista.
Join the interest listBarton Mews Lane is comprised of twenty-seven residences on six acres, adjacent to Arbor Place and just blocks from the Reynolda Park section of Buena Vista.
A rare find in Winston-Salem: land in close proximity to everything, on a street rarely traversed. With six architect-designed standalone homes along the south side of the street, and twenty-one terraced villas lining the north side in the manner of a London mews, this once-forgotten lane is being transformed into an elegant residential community on the doorstep of historic Buena Vista. The power lines now run underground, the remaining poles will soon be removed, and decorative street lights are being installed along the lane. Join the interest list to be among the first to hear as Barton Mews Lane comes to life.
For the first two individual residences, architect Quinn Pillsworth looked to the structures most visitors to Buena Vista rarely see — the generously proportioned carriage houses tucked behind the grand estates, admired for their elegant simplicity and functionality.
Translated for the twenty-first century, that functionality becomes zero-threshold living throughout the main level and a home prepared for an elevator, with an eye to the years ahead. What remains are the clean lines, tall ceilings and large windows that never go out of style, whatever the era.

Phase IDetached, architect-designed homes on generous sites along the south side of the lane. Each is individually drawn — porches, decks and courtyards oriented to its own aspect, with a wide array of customization from the studs out.

Phase IITerraced villas inspired by London’s historic row houses, breaking ground in 2027: three en-suite bedrooms, ten-foot ceilings, an elevator to all three floors and a two-car garage off a gated rear alleyway. The lock-and-leave answer for anyone ready to trade the lawn for the lifestyle.
Ever since the first homes went up in 1915, Buena Vista has been unrivalled. It was designed as an oasis in the middle of a working city, and became a showplace for some of the brightest American architects of the twentieth century — most notably Charles Barton Keen and William Roy Wallace.
Today the estates are complemented by a wealth of natural beauty. Towering hardwoods shelter the streets, crepe myrtles shine through the summer, and chrysanthemums show up in autumn.
