Superb Mid-Country Estate
|
This handsome manor has a circular stone medallion in the courtyard. Classic pillars in the stone wall bracket the entrance to the driveway bordered with Belgian block. Antique iron gates open to the front walk and the arched portico shelters the elegant front door with beautiful leaded glass. The expansive, front-to-back center hall, with a graceful curving stairway and stenciled oak floors which repeat the charming motif of the gates, has lovely views of the property. The step-down baronial great room has a fireplace, a beamed wooden cathedral ceiling and three exposures while the formal living room also has a fireplace and three exposures. The generous dining room is memorable with a wide bow window with a window seat, a wonderful fireplace and a stairway in a window bay with exceptional leaded glass leading to the unique garden level. The beautifully remodeled country kitchen opens to a deck with nice views and it adjoins a wonderful private wing with a two-room suite (each room with a fireplace) and one bathroom. Upstairs the master suite is luxurious with a fireplace in the bedroom, french doors to a balcony overlooking the garden, excellent closets and an expansive new bathroom with a whirlpool bathtub, a separate shower stall and exceptional marble floors. There are four additional bedrooms, three new bathrooms and the rookery - a library lined in bookcases which is an upstairs sitting room or private retreat. The garden level is a fabulous space with a fireplace and a wet bar in the spectacular billiards room or rathskeller, an elaborate exercise area with a fireplace, a solarium winter garden with large arched mahogany glass doors, two lovely new bathrooms, plus a cabana area with two dressing rooms, a bathroom and access to the outdoor pool and gardens. This is the ideal home in which to live or entertain on any scale, close to town and schools.
