About the Home

Generously extended around its stunning 1710 jewelbox core, this oft magazine featured modern country estate is a one-of-a-kind 5 bedroom, 6 bath family retreat. The magical 5 acre compound features park-like grounds, including a bass-stocked pond for summer that serves as an ice rink in winter, pickleball court, bluestone-ensconced pool & spa, pool house, rose-covered pergola for summer dining, carriage barn, extensive landscape lighting throughout the property, as well as curated trails including one that reveals the property's waterfall. The newly expanded back patio is an entertainer's dream and its gorgeously landscaped vista feels like the European countryside. All the upgrades throughout the house have been finished to the highest level. The bespoke kitchen, designed & built by Smallbone/Peacock, was imported from England. There's a new aupair/in-law suite with separate entrance, 2 home offices, and family room with drop-down movie screen. The spacious primary suite includes a sitting room with fireplace and wet bar, separate walk-in closets, renovated bathroom with heated floors and new steam shower. The stunning historic great room with its original 20-inch wide plank floors, exposed beams and massive fieldstone fireplace, will make memories for holidays to come. Walking distance to GrayBarns and Silvermine Art Guild, and only 45 miles to NYC, this romantic property hidden off a one-lane country road is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the sophisticated buyer.
