Situated privately on 1.5 acres with swimming and beach access as well as spectacular grounds, the main home blends modern living with historic elegance. The view filled living room and dining area boast beams and two fireplaces with original details and adjoin a charming sunroom with patio access. The home flows with a light-filled kitchen and pantry, a home office with powder room and two bedrooms with full bath. Above are two bedrooms, two baths and mesmerizing views. The lower level surprises with soaring ceilings and a fresh modern appeal - an ideal exercise/entertainment retreat. There is a detached 2-car garage & the fifth bedroom suite. The windmill circa 1850 contains original works and is currently used as a home office suite. Seldom does a generational property so spectacular come to market.
