Property Description
Dating back over 270 years and built using locally sourced limestone, this majestic Georgian-style house boasts a timeless elegance with its symmetrical facade and classic architectural details. A circular driveway and detached three-car garage all surrounded by meticulously maintained landscaping gives this spectacular home a curb appeal like no other.
Upon entering the home, you are greeted by a gracious foyer with a central staircase built by master craftsman during a time when houses were made to last centuries. The ground floor features gleaming wide-plank hardwood floors throughout and 9ft ceilings that enhance the sense of space and grandeur.
To the left of the foyer, you'll find an inviting formal living room, perfect for intimate gatherings or quiet evenings. Adjacent to the living room is a cozy study well-suited for a home office or library. On the right, a spacious formal dining room featuring a center-brick fireplace with an exquisite carved mantle sets up an ideal environment for hosting holiday get-togethers with friends and family.
The gourmet kitchen is a chef's delight, featuring custom cabinetry, granite countertops, high-end stainless-steel appliances, double ovens, a butcher-block workstation, and under-the-counter refrigerator and freezer. An oversized island provides ample space for food preparation and casual dining while another brick fireplace with a large wooden mantle serves as the visual focal point of the room. Laundry will not be a chore in the first-floor laundry brightened with a wall of windows overlooking the in-ground pool.
Ascending the elegant staircase to the second floor, you'll find a luxurious master suite that exudes comfort and tranquility. The generous master suite has a fabulous 21st-century en-suite with a contemporary double vanity. There are three more bedrooms on the second level and two more on the third level. Plus, there are another two completely updated full bathrooms. The basement features four separate rooms with ample of room for storage.
Adjoining the main home and next to the pool is a renovated smokehouse with a full bar and wood burning stove that is the perfect accompaniment for pool parties, poker nights, or watching the big game.
For multi-generational living or an overnight guest, there is a fully renovated apartment over the garage. The garage features a brand new integrated solar roof to help offset energy costs. Both bays in the garage have been remodeled, with the large side providing room for storing equipment and tools, and the smaller side designed as a wood shop.
Situated on over 5 acres, this property gives owners enough room for privacy, but is close enough to the adjacent community to not feel isolated. The grounds surrounding the house offer a picturesque setting with lush lawns, mature trees, and manicured gardens. With Blue-Marsh lake less than a mile down the street, there are opportunities for fishing, boating, kayaking, hiking, or mountain biking. For the avid golfer, Heidelberg Country Club is also right around the corner. During the holiday season, enjoy the sights and sounds of Christmas Village from your own backyard to get you in the holiday spirit. Wine lovers will be able to visit one of the several local wineries that are part of the Berk’s County Wine Trail.
This magnificent Georgian-style house harmoniously combines classic elegance with modern comforts. From the grand entrance to the thoughtfully designed interior spaces, every detail has been carefully considered. With its spacious rooms, beautiful finishes, and expansive outdoor setting, this 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom house on 5+ acres provides the perfect canvas for a luxurious and comfortable lifestyle.
