About this home
A rare and remarkable opportunity to own a piece of history. Part was originally built in 1810, and this exceptional 3,844-square-foot residence has been thoughtfully reimagined around a stunning great room with soaring ceiling, a dramatic fireplace, magnificent oak floors, and an abundance of natural light. Original architectural details celebrate the home's rich past while creating an inviting house for modern living. The five-bedroom floor plan includes a guest room on the main level, a formal dining room with subtle built-in storage cabinets, a third floor study, and gracious spaces filled with character. The transformation was guided by exceptional professionals: architect Rick Moisan and landscape designer Wes Rouse, each bringing extraordinary vision and artistry to the property. Set on seven park-like acres, the grounds are truly magical, with established gardens, a swimming pool, and a tennis court. A cozy one-bedroom cottage with a detached two-car garage add flexibility for guests, a studio, or extended family. The tennis court awaits refurbishment, while the kitchen and bathrooms offer an opportunity for the next owner to revamp these spaces. Light-filled, gracious, and utterly distinctive, this is a property with soul, history, elegance and presence. They simply don't build them like this anymore.
