Extraordinary historic home is sited on an idyllic half acre and has been restored and reimagined. Designed by 19th century expert builder Dexter Blaikie, this 5+ bedroom, 4 bath home integrates period details with modern design. Entertaining is gracious in rooms of balanced contrasts. Cathedral ceilings and wall-to-wall windows create light-filled ease while the warm, open plan of the original great room offers fluidity between the intimate interior and the bucolic landscape. A flexible wing acts as an office/den or a main floor bedroom. The second floor has 4 more bedrooms, the largest with an en-suite bath and a spectacular balcony that overlooks private woods. Bonus lower level with separate entrance leads to a media room, bath, and extra bedroom. Fabulous features include new a/c systems, chef's kitchen, original pantry, wood stove, stone patio, copper gutters, and wall of folding french doors. A stone's throw from Vinson-Owen Elementary and Wright-Locke Farm.
