Grace and elegance are perfectly blended in this exquisite 1928 French farmhouse. Fully renovated to perfection, this extraordinary home exudes luxurious European charm and modern flair in historic Silvermine district. Majestically sited on 2.33 level acres, this home is incomparable. The style of home, a Norman Farmhouse (otherwise known as French Provincial) brought to Silvermine by architect Frank J Forster for Jay Hyde Barnum, who was an artist. This style was derived from centuries of hand-built French cottages. The stucco was uneven, the wood was hand-hewn, and the bricks differed because they were not all made the same way. Details in this house are rare for Silvermine and include quoining, a beehive fireplace, a gum wood ceiling and a steep, mainly one-story roofline. The builders added unique touches, choosing a clapboard exterior over stucco.
