Majestic views, privacy and classic charm. This country estate features a 5 bedroom, 3 1/2 bath main house, a guest cottage, a hunting-lodge-style carriage house, horse facilities and a beautiful late-18th century barn, all on just under 5 acres. Seated atop one of the highest hills in scenic Pilesgrove and setback more than 1500 feet from the road, your view looks out over hundreds of acres of protected farmland. You will enjoy country living at its finest at this private paradise. The 5 bedroom, 3 1/2 bath home was built circa 1825, and has been well maintained and modernized while keeping much of the 19th century charm intact. The wide plank flooring, crown molding and interior trim, antique door-hardware, 5 fireplaces with warming cupboards, and the built-in bookshelves all tell the tale of this home’s history. The first floor features a spacious kitchen and dining room, enormous 17’x32’ living room, a half bathroom and a heated three season room. The three season room opens onto a 1200 square foot deck that was resurfaced in 2014. Moving up the central stair to the second floor, a large landing provides access to two large 15’x17’ bedrooms, a full bath and the master suite. The master suite includes a 17’x17’ bedroom, full private bath, fireplace, 5 closets including a generous walk-in closet with access to a hidden cedar closet, a 10’x12’ sitting room that can be used as an extra bedroom, and a private stair to the first floor. The third floor provides a full in-law suite with a bedroom, living room, bath and a wet-bar featuring Corian countertops, maple cabinetry and a refrigerator. The 2 bedroom, 1 bath cottage can be used as an in-law residence, guest house, or could make a wonderful studio for the budding artist! The cottage includes a full kitchen, laundry and living room, making the possibilities endless. The original carriage house that once housed the horses and their carriages has been converted into a 2 car garage and contains a hidden gem: a large game room reminiscent of a mountain hunting lodge. The hand-hewn wood beams, wide oak boards, and brick work take you back to simpler times. The wood-burning stove and air-conditioning make this game room a year-round gathering place for family and friends. The charm of this country estate is enhanced by its outdoor amenities. For the horse lover in the family, a 1 acre pasture is wrapped in beautiful white PVC fencing. Your equine friend will enjoy a 10’x10’ run-in shed that includes lights and a heated automatic waterer, providing fresh maintenance-free water year-round. No more hauling buckets and breaking ice! The children will enjoy a 900 square foot playground featuring a large play-set. The playground was designed for safety and features a bed of rubber mulch and a nautical rope enclosure. The large timber frame dairy barn is a beautiful example of mortise and tenon construction. With its hand-hewn timbers and wooden pegs, the barn offers an abundance of useful storage and the potential for a large workshop. Even the antique hay hook still hangs in the rafters!
