Property formerly of the late philanthropist Walter Cerf, this stately manor home on 5 acres with guest cottage and two car garage needs to be seen to be believed. Home features 4 bedrooms and 3 baths with a formal living room, dining room, library and fabulous solarium with radiant 3 stage heating. First floor is centrally air conditioned with commercial grade equipment. The property also features a 50kW automatic standby, propane-fired generator capable of running the entire house for weeks if necessary. Cottage has two bedrooms and two living rooms and a newer sunken kitchen. Perfect for the occasional guest or rental. Many upgrades have been done including a revamped heating system for the main house, remodeled first floor and second floor bathrooms. The laundry area has been taken out of the basement and put on the first floor conveniently located off the kitchen. The house has been entirely professionally scraped and painted in August of 2006 along with the installation of new shutters. Living room and dining room floors were refinished in October 2006. The house also features two screened porches to enjoy the summertime breezes. Catch the sunrise from the front porch and the sunset from the back. Wide plank pine floors and new carpeting in the master bedroom and front entry hall round out this wonderfull property. The master bathroom must be redone and the kitchen, while usable needs updating. This is your chance to create the kitchen and master bathroom of your dreams. One more note: The price of this home has been reduced many times and WILL NOT be reduced further. We will sit on it (because we can) until the market becomes normalized. At that point the property will placed on that market at a substantially higer price. Neighborhood Description The neighborhood is beautiful with nice country homes situated on rolling 2+ acre lots. Our home fronts on a public street that is well maintined by the town.
