Nestled within 106 acres of meticulously preserved woodlands and scenic trails, this 8 bedroom, 5 full and 2 half bath Italianate residence underwent a comprehensive restoration in 2009 by the current owners and renowned architect R. A. Hoffman, and was restored with impeccable attention to detail. The estate boasts an array of original features that exude grandeur and craftsmanship, including ornate moldings, multiple marble fireplaces, hand-carved woodwork, and exquisite millwork. An impressive wrap-around porch provides relaxing spaces in which to enjoy the views, punctuated by birdsong. The grandeur continues inside, where the original double front doors open into a stately center hall, flanked by a grand yet comfortable space designed for both entertaining and refined living. Spectacular floor-to-ceiling Jefferson windows bathe the interiors in natural light, enhancing the breathtaking vistas of the estate.
