Magical. No word better describes the joy and charm of this unrivaled 2.36 acre estate which includes not only the handsome stone original Schaefer estate, but also the whimsical 2-story guest house (the original horse stable), which together share the playful rolling terrain, water features, putting green, numerous terraces & outdoor fireplace. Reimagined as an enchanting entertainment center, the guest house with a total of 3,186 finished square feet includes generous bar and relaxation areas, 2 wonderful guest rooms with private baths, and south facing terrace with retractable awning, while the main home includes 4 spacious bedrooms, kitchen open to main level family room, expansive screened porch, and wainscoted living/dining room with leaded windows. Total sq. footage and bedrooms/baths in MLS include guest house. A truly rare opportunity.
