Originally designed by renowned architect Charles Gilbert and later renovated by architect René Hoffman, this grand residence underwent a total renovation and significant addition in 2005 by master builder Jim Donavan, incorporating exceptional attention to detail throughout. This 5-bedroom, 7 full, 3 half-bath estate is set on 3+ acres, featuring manicured gardens, a lighted tennis court, spring house, and a barn with storage, along with two detached garage spaces and a two-car attached garage. Interiors curated by acclaimed designer Barbara Eberlein showcase superior craftsmanship, custom millwork, and refined finishes.
