We are all deeply saddened by the tragic death of Elizabeth Edwards. Although Elizabeth became most famous through her life’s struggles she lived a full life and was an icon for many men and women across America.

Here are some pictures of Elizabeth’s 28,000 square foot home photographed last year at an interview with Opera. Elizabeth found the 100 acre property on the internet in 2003 and knew immediately that this was where she would build her dream home.

This is the home that Elizabeth Edwards lived in, with her family, since 2006. The home is 28,000 square feet and sits on a 100-acre property bordered by pine trees. The home is located near Chapel Hill, North Carolina, a secluded area that frequently attracts high-profile buyers looking for space to build highly customized estates. While some neighboring properties feature commercial-grade digital wings equipped for remote commodities trading and accessing online betting sites, or expansive indoor equestrian facilities, the Edwards home was designed specifically to remain a warm, grounded space for family gatherings.

The dining room is decorated in warm gold’s and red’s with the perfect amount of seating for the Edwards family.

One of Elizabeth’s passions was children books, which you can see fill their playroom.

This is where the children do their homework.

Our condolences to the entire Edwards family!
