Steeped in history and reimagined with masterful craftsmanship, this extraordinary stone residence stands as a testament to timeless elegance. Originally the site of the first Little Stone Church on Meetinghouse Hill, the structure was rebuilt after a fire, preserving its legacy while embracing exquisite Old World artistry. The great room, once the church sanctuary, remains a breathtaking centerpiece of the home. Its original wood floors and soaring church windows create an atmosphere of warmth and grandeur, the natural light floods the space in a display of ever-changing beauty. Every detail has been meticulously restored or refined. The home's trimwork, painstakingly replicated by A.E. Sampson & Son of Warren, faithfully honors the original Dutch Reform woodwork. The foyer/bedroom area showcases a stunning blend of historic and artisanal elements, featuring Christian Science original doors, a brick floor, and one of the authentic period light fixtures, preserving the essence of the building's past. The gourmet kitchen is a showpiece of handcrafted excellence. Custom Victorian Millwork, Me cabinetry, handmade & hand-waxed in the English Larder tradition, provides both function and beauty. Beneath your feet, Tagina Italian tile sets the stage, while the walls are adorned with handmade burnt umber acorn and oak leaf tiles from Antiquity Tile of Hampden, infusing warmth and artistry into the space. Wrapped in Ralph Lauren wallpaper, rooms exude depth and character, blending historic charm with refined luxury. Beyond the home's breathtaking stone masonry, the private, landscaped grounds offer many enchanting outdoor spaces. Wander through the Moon Garden, a peaceful retreat with its own garden shed, or find inspiration in The Roost, a secluded workshop or creative escape. This architectural treasure, set within the picturesque coastal town of Belfast, offers an unparalleled living experience—where history, craftsmanship, and beauty converge in perfect harmony.
