About This Home
BUILT DURING THE GILDED ERA THIS BEAUTIFUL MANSION ON OVER 5 ACRES HAS UNLIMITED POTENTIAL AS A LUXURIOUS PRIVATE ESTATE, A COUNTRY INN OR AN INCREDIBLE WEDDING VENUE. Timeless Grandeur Meets Modern Luxury: Step into a world where historic elegance and modern convenience coexist in perfect harmony. Nestled at the end of a serene cul-de-sac, this 1902 Arts and Crafts stone mansion offers the ultimate countryside escape, while inside, the gourmet chef’s kitchen is a masterclass in both function and style. Entertain guests in the grand dining room while preparing meals with two ovens, dual dishwashers, a drawer microwave with convection and air fryer settings, two sinks, and abundant space for entertaining. Just a five-minute stroll from downtown’s restaurants & the renowned 1898 opera house, this is country living with a cosmopolitan twist. Painstakingly preserved and thoughtfully updated, this architectural treasure is framed by lush, wildlife-rich acres where foxes, deer, eagles, and even the occasional black bear roam freely. A babbling brook winds through the property, while the expansive outdoor stone party pavilion and summer kitchen invite unforgettable gatherings under the stars. Adjacent to the kitchen, a grand library offers a cozy sanctuary for quiet reading or creative inspiration. The finished lower level hides a speakeasy-style party room—perfect for intimate celebrations or vintage flair—while a new furnace, updated septic, metal roof, ensure peace of mind for years to come. Escape the hectic pace of city life and come home to timeless tranquility, where every detail’s a story and every day feels like a retreat. No drive bys.
