Think Stone Ridge Elegance - This elegant 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom Mountain Cottage was built by Chicago manufacturer Samuel Bingham in 1925. It was designed by renowned Chicago architect Lincoln Norcott Hall. Inside the house, you get the feeling of a mountain retreat from the beam ceilings, large stone fireplaces, and oak floors. With its stately front door and wide oak stairs, the foyer creates a grand entrance. Beyond the foyer, the living room is a gathering place to capture the mountain view from every angle. The library features a stone fireplace, built-in bookshelves, seating and opens out to the covered porch. The formal dining room has a stone fireplace and mountain views. Leading from the dining room is a renovated kitchen, butlers pantry, and mudroom. The area provides more space and allows for entertaining. The butlers pantry was original to the kitchen. The kitchen features marble and stainless steel countertops and skylights bring in more natural light. The cabinets in the mudroom still bear the signatures of Hollywood celebrities. The stars attended costume parties given by former owners. The names include Gigi, written by Leslie Caron after she starred in the movie with the same name, as well as Clark Gables wife Kathleen and others. Off the mudroom are a full bath and a charming office. Upstairs the spacious master suite has a large bedroom with fireplace, sitting area and a stunning master bath with a separate show and jetted tub in which you can relax and enjoy the mountain view. A second master suite includes a sitting room and ensuite bath. 2 guest bedrooms and a bathroom complete the upper level. One of the best features is the porch, which faces the mountains. The outdoor living spaces include stone porches, patios and terraces surrounding the home. The view from the terrace stretches from below Hogback Mountain to Howard Gap and beyond. The grounds are a delightful blend of hardscape and professional landscaping. Close to town.
