The estate grounds feature stately mature trees, specimen plantings, flagstone terraces and a large walled motor court. The 16,410 sq ft main residence has been exquisitely expanded and meticulously renovated to reflect the floor plan and design features sought by modern families; with 8 bedrooms total, including the 2 bedroom apartment. Old world elegance includes handsome millwork, lovely ceiling designs, decorative iron staircase railings, countless French doors, 7 charming fireplaces that have been converted to gas, and the highest-grade fit and finishes. Generous windows throughout brighten the interiors with natural sunlight. The beauty is not just in the details, but on display in every room and out of every window. Some highlights include a Mercer tiled reception hall, grandly proportioned living & dining rooms, a gourmet kitchen with adjacent breakfast room, a sunroom, billiards room, two family rooms and two home offices. A private sanctuary, the luxurious primary bedroom suite includes his and her spa-like baths, a sitting area and is enhanced with a library balcony overlooking a two-story family room.

Breathtaking estate grounds provide endless opportunities for recreation, entertainment or relaxation. You'll enjoy a sparkling swimming pool and nearby pavilion, numerous stone and brick patios offering a variety of commanding viewpoints, enchanting crushed stone pathways and exterior landscape lighting.
