About This Home
A Legacy Estate Rich with History and privacy! Step inside this sophisticated Greek Revival Colonial built in 1812 with more than 8,000 square feet across 24 rooms and 11 private acres bursting with breathtaking secret gardens and historic plantings that provide abundant, peaceful, sitting areas. With 8 bedrooms—most with en-suite baths—and 7 bathrooms, this residence balances historic grandeur with modern livability. Wide-plank wood floors flow throughout, while tiled bathrooms add timeless style. A family-sized kitchen featuring a high-end gas range, premium appliances, and access to a screened porch creates the perfect gathering place. The home’s grand formal dining room, elegant library/den, and 2 sitting rooms set the stage for memorable entertaining. One parlor showcases a rare original 1812 hand-painted Dufor wallpaper, an artistic treasure preserved for over 2 centuries. This home has been a witness to remarkable history, out front you will find a majestic tree planted in 1855 by Frederick Newman Knapp to honor his marriage. Modern creativity also finds a place here: a professional recording studio, complete with equipment elevator and direct garage access, opens doors for musicians, podcasters, or producers seeking a dedicated workspace. The layout of the home lend themselves naturally to multi-generational living, in-law quarters, or guest accommodations. From grand entertaining to quiet reflection, every corner of this estate reflect its 200+ years.
