A rare offering steeped in American History, the home blends architectural charm, refined design, and modern luxury across expansive, beautifully landscaped grounds. Behind its striking steep-gabled facade and original stucco exterior lies an impeccably renovated interior that honors its heritage while embracing contemporary elegance. The gracious entry hall with checkerboard marble flooring and a sweeping staircase leads to a series of stunning rooms, including a grand fireside living room, a richly paneled dining room with bold wallpaper and fireplace, and a sun-filled sitting room with arched windows overlooking lush gardens. The kitchen is a vibrant, designer showpiece with custom cabinetry, a large center island, and color tilework. A dramatic vaulted office space nestles beneath the home's distinctive roofline- an inspiring retreat with treetop views. Outside, enjoy elegant terraces, curated gardens, and multiple lounging and dining areas perfect for entertaining. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a residence with an unparalleled historical pedigree and timeless beauty! Thoughtfully modernized, this residence boasts a full-house generator, commercial grade wi-fi, heated floors in two bathrooms and an outdoor saltwater hot tub. Updates include all-new bathrooms, a primary suite with jacuzzi tub, jack-and-jill bath, and a new washer/dryer. New windows and a redone tennis court. Exterior upgrades feature all-new bluestone patios, an updated irrigation system, new outdoor lighting, fido-fencing for dogs, and a fortified retaining wall with Belgium block along the driveway. Additional highlights include buried utilities, a heated garage, two EV chargers (garage + driveway) and updated electric panels.
