Heart of Mid-Country
|
Marvelous old stone walls border the front of the property. The broad circular driveway lined with Belgian block leads to the columned entrance portico and the front door with a lovely, wide fanlight and divided sidelights which opens to the gracious center hall with a charming curved stairway, exceptional detailing and a Waterworks powder room. The front-to-back living room with a handsome fireplace surrounded by panelling has a south-facing bay window and long windows facing the garden, and the formal dining room with wainscoting has french doors to the generous new screened porch with eating and sitting areas overlooking the garden. The panelled library has a fireplace and many built-in bookcases, while the family room has three exposures including a west-facing bay window overlooking the sweeping, level side lawns. The new kitchen by Christopher Peacock has traditional white cabinetry with wonderful hardware and a sunny breakfast room in a bay plus access to the mudroom and the attached garage. Upstairs is a balcony area with a window and the luxurious master suite has three exposures, a sitting area with bookcases, two dressing room/closets and a lovely new bathroom with a deep bathtub and a separate shower. There are four additional bedrooms, three new Waterworks bathrooms and a back stairs. The second family room is large with a fireplace and built-ins, plus there is a nicely tiled laundry room and a hobby room. The new poolhouse with a slate roof has a romantic columned verandah, a bathroom, and a changing room - the architecture is in perfect harmony in keeping with the classic lines of the beautiful original home which is decorated and maintained to an impeccable standard.
