About This Home
Step into a living masterpiece where history meets modern luxury. This extraordinary 1892 Colonial Revival Victorian, designed by renowned architect Stanford White, sits on 3.3 acres with 260 feet of level lakefront, just a short stroll from the village. The impeccably restored exterior honors its historic grandeur while welcoming you with timeless elegance. Inside, a grand foyer sets the tone for refined opulence. The living room features Venetian plaster walls with gold leaf detailing, framing breathtaking lake views through beautifully restored French doors. The kitchen seamlessly blends original tin ceilings with high-end appliances, while the inviting dining room showcases hand-painted walls by Chuck Gridley and a charming wood-burning fireplace. Everyday living is elevated with a thoughtfully designed mudroom and laundry room, while the study and game room offer both quiet retreat and lively entertainment. Upstairs, the restored staircase leads to a serene second floor. The primary suite offers stunning lake views and spa-like amenities, while additional bedrooms each feature unique character and en-suite baths. Designed for exceptional living and entertaining, the home includes a third-floor movie theater, a fully equipped basement gym, and a 12-car garage. Outside, meticulously landscaped grounds unfold into terraced lawns leading to a rare, restored boathouse complete with a permanent electric hoist—an exquisite finishing touch to this one-of-a-kind waterfront estate.
