Designed as a 22-room Georgian colonial of nearly 10,000 sq ft, the house is now configured as two units with the unit for sale offering 4,345 sq ft, 4-5 bedrooms, a modern kitchen, and spectacular light-filled living and dining rooms. All architecturally significant features have been retained including two Mercer-tiled fireplaces, butler's pantry, ornate crown moldings, built-in cabinets, tile work and original brass light fixtures. The property also includes a three-story 800 sq ft stone outbuilding that has been completely restored as a three-car garage, but offers the potential to be a stunning in-law home, artist's studio, office, or horse barn. The property covers 1.27 acres, and includes a small meadow, many specimen trees, and easy access to hiking and biking trails.
