You know from the moment you enter you are in a place like no other. As you pass through the gates and drive up the private road you will find yourself surrounded by world-class four-season gardens. This is truly a family compound that will cement precious memories for generations to come. Children will want to gather here, from touch football picnics through college gatherings, picturesque weddings and family reunions. Company retreats spill through the formal public rooms and out to the rustic grounds. Rising originally from the gardens surrounding it, the house impresses from the first. The entrance facade is elegantly symmetrical, with one of a kind soaring glass doors. Grand in scale for entertaining, it is also intimate in scope for private living. You will find the home dotted with cozy nooks for reading, music, or just relaxing. Imagine your favorite getaway, with "Old Hollywood" style when you're feeling glamorous or that down home by the fireplace feel when that laid -back mood strikes. A chef's kitchens (Inside and out) and spa - like bathrooms offer family warmth as well as grandeur. Uniquely embellished fireplaces, coffered and barrel ceilings, phenomenal flooring throughout plus custom wall treatments, built-ins and moldings, distinguish this home as luxe, with attention to every detail. Spaces like the solarium invite pampered comfort and, like all the rooms, offer an incomparable view. Outbuildings share comfort and perfection, especially the charming guest/pool house, with its rustic beam ceiling and stone fireplace. 52 acres showcasing 4 gardens, a large enclosed outdoor space, elegant indoor space, pool, tennis court and an abundance of nature allow for endless entertaining opportunities. Make no mistake, this is a show place, one happy to adapt to any decorating style inspired by the gardens: think Italian, Monet, English cottage, serene Japanese. Two separate lower levels feature an endless amount of finished space, 3 bathrooms, hot tub, sauna and an inspiring view through a full wall of windows leading to a patio and the Monet inspired pond. The second floor features an incomparable owner suite giving a uniquely American country compound blend. All of this located in the most beautiful country setting in the shadow of the Blue mountains of Pennsylvania. You will find yourself in a private world of peace and serenity.
