    What's special

    This extraordinary stone manor house, dating all the way back to 1730 with later additions, is truly one-of-a-kind. As you wind your way down the long red stone driveway, you'll be captivated by the unmistakable timeless elegance of this irreplaceable home. Step inside and be transported back in time as you admire the seven (non-working) fireplaces adorned with period mantels and the stunning original flooring that exudes character and warmth. The floorplan of this home is incredibly versatile, accommodating any stage of life with ease. Not only is there a luxurious first-floor bedroom suite, but there's also another one upstairs, offering flexible living arrangements to suit your needs. The heart of the home is the recently overhauled gourmet kitchen, a true chef's delight, complete with high-end appliances and finishes. Adjacent to the kitchen, a charming breakfast room with a glass ceiling invites you to start your day with a flood of natural light. And when it's time to entertain, the banquet-size dining room, just a few steps away, is the perfect setting for hosting memorable gatherings. The five-bedroom home offers endless possibilities, with a multitude of rooms that could serve alternative uses such as for exercise, meditation, or home offices. A back staircase leads to ideal nanny quarters tucked away from the other bedrooms. The finished third floor boasts a huge storage room and another finished room. Outside, the scenic grounds feature a Har-Tru tennis court for a friendly match, a beautiful allée of fruit trees, a bountiful vegetable garden, and a generously sized partially covered terrace. Also nestled on the grounds are two potentially income-producing cottages. The first features three bedrooms, while the second offers two bedrooms. There are also garages for multiple cars. Prepare to fall in love with the rich history, timeless elegance, and endless possibilities that await!
