Description

Fairhill — a masterfully reimagined English country estate, perched on six of the most private acres left in Wayne. Offered for only the second time in 75 years, this historic treasure is steeped in character and legacy—storied to have hosted JFK, who addressed admirers from the Master Suite’s Juliette balcony on his campaign trail. Originally designed in 1903 by renowned architect Wilson Eyre, it underwent a complete down-to-the-studs renovation from 2004 to 2007 by Griffiths Construction and Warren...Fairhill — a masterfully reimagined English country estate, perched on six of the most private acres left in Wayne. Offered for only the second time in 75 years, this historic treasure is steeped in character and legacy—storied to have hosted JFK, who addressed admirers from the Master Suite’s Juliette balcony on his campaign trail. Originally designed in 1903 by renowned architect Wilson Eyre, it underwent a complete down-to-the-studs renovation from 2004 to 2007 by Griffiths Construction and Warren Claytor Architects. The result is a seamless blend of timeless elegance and modern luxury, showcasing impeccable craftsmanship, premium materials, and refined detail—including a new slate roof with copper accents.
A pair of stone pillars opens to a stately cherry tree-lined driveway leading to the main house and a detached fieldstone garage with a private apartment above. A classic outdoor vestibule welcomes you into a formal center hall adorned with rich millwork, soaring ceilings, and gleaming hardwood floors.
To the right, a handsome study wrapped in grasscloth wallpaper features a wood-burning fireplace, custom-lit cabinetry, and access to a covered porch. The adjoining living room is equally elegant, with a gas fireplace, arched built-ins, and French doors that lead to a brick terrace and the porch. Across the hall, the formal dining room dazzles with its own gas fireplace, marble mantel, and another set of signature arched French doors, creating effortless flow to the outdoors. A stunning butler’s pantry, complete with ceiling-height cabinetry and copper sink, connects the dining room to the heart of the home. The informal wing invites you into a warm, open kitchen and family room. The gourmet kitchen features a Viking range, Sub-Zero fridge, and custom cabinetry. Dramatic exposed stone archways lead into the breakfast and family rooms—both flooded with light from oversized French doors and windows. The family room showcases a 12-foot coffered ceiling, wood-burning raised hearth fireplace, and clever built-in features, including a firewood bench accessed by an exterior iron hatch. The breakfast room boasts a 14ft tray ceiling. A brick-floored mudroom, wash sink, and powder room are accessed via a charming Dutch door back entry. Off the main foyer, the dramatic three-story main staircase leads to a luminous second-floor landing. The primary suite begins with a sitting room with Juliette balcony and flows into a serene bedroom with fireplace, double closets, and a luxurious bathroom with travertine soaking tub, steam shower, and dual vanities. Both the bedroom and bath open to a glorious sunroom with panoramic views. Three additional bedrooms share two hall baths— each room offers its own unique charm—one with a fireplace (the fifth in the house), another with exposed stone walls and a vaulted ceiling—all enjoying stunning vistas of the surrounding landscape. A laundry room and linen closet complete this level, which also connects conveniently to the kitchen/family rooms via an open rear staircase. The third floor offers a fifth bedroom retreat with a vaulted ceiling, exposed brick column, and a full bath with deep soaking tub. Outdoors, Fairhill’s grounds are a rare sanctuary—mature trees, curated gardens, and unmatched privacy, all just 1.1 miles from downtown Wayne with easy access to trains and major roadways. The detached garage apartment adds versatile living or office space. With historical provenance, architectural integrity, and modern-day luxury, Fairhill is truly a once-in-a-lifetime offering.
