Description

Formerly the Chart House -- This corporation chose only Spectacular Properties. After a 20 year strong existence, the manager purchased the property & operated as Sages successfully. Then, the Giannopoulos family turned it into Brushmill by the Waterfall. This property is well known, loved & a remarkable #1 Steak House. It has not been uncommon for 2 hour waits on a weekend when the Terris Theater has a show or the weather is conducive to just going out for dinner.

After a 20 year strong existence, the manager purchased the property & operated as Sages successfully. Then, the Giannopoulos family turned it into Brushmill by the Waterfall. This property is well known, loved & a remarkable #1 Steak House. It has not been uncommon for 2 hour waits on a weekend when the Terris Theater has a show or the weather is conducive to just going out for dinner. The rustic beauty of the inside rooms that have amazing character, to the history on each & every wall, will draw you in to want to explore the surroundings. You can relax in its traditional atmosphere. As you drive into the property crossing a small bridge, you see the Pattaconk Brook & Waterfall, you park & walk through a covered footbridge, then you enter this 1900 building & admire the original artifacts from the actual Mill. One particular standout is the lower level bar which is a Tool Bench utilized at the Brushmill. Yes! it even has the holes in it to hold the tools of the past. The chestnut beams are still brilliant. Time stands still here. Food, Drink & Friends -- you will just relish in the moment at this magnificent restaurant. Open 4-9 daily, but also be early to enjoy the two outdoor slate patios. The roaring falls will please you as you await a good time inside. See Lease Option Opportunity ( $100,000 option to buy). Effective Year built is 1976,- many upgrades to mechanicals have been done.
