Steeped in history and architectural significance, this remarkable estate—originally built in 1850 and sensitively expanded in 1909—offers a rare opportunity to own a truly irreplaceable residence. Spanning over 10,000 square feet across three graciously scaled levels, the home reflects an era when craftsmanship, proportion, and permanence were paramount. A procession of elegant, sunlit rooms reveals original architectural details, generous ceiling heights, and finely preserved materials throughout. Formal and informal living spaces flow naturally, creating an atmosphere well suited for refined entertaining and quiet daily living alike. The residence includes nine bedrooms, five full baths, and three half baths, complemented by twelve original fireplaces that anchor the home with warmth and historic character. The second floor features a fully equipped kitchen and a private staircase to the garage, offering versatility for extended household arrangements, guests, or staff. The third level provides three additional bedrooms, a full bath, and two expansive recreation rooms—spaces that invite leisure while honoring the home’s historic integrity. Set on 3.26 acres of manicured grounds, the estate is framed by mature trees and formal gardens that evoke the serenity of a private country retreat. A gunite in-ground pool is accompanied by a pool house with full bath, indoor hot tub, and deck. A 40' x 100' heated workshop with utilities and car lift supports serious collections or pursuits. Additional historic outbuildings include a substantial two-story barn and a classic carriage house, both with electric and water. With a long-life architectural roof installed in 1995, the property has been responsibly maintained while preserving its original spirit. Ideal for the discerning buyer seeking authenticity, scale, and legacy, this is a residence of rare substance—where history is not replicated, but lived.
