For the first time in over 20 years, one of the finest homes in the region is on the market. This creates an opportunity for a buyer to be the 5th owner in nearly 100 years. Step into European-style luxury in a brick & slate mansion appointed with all the finest materials, finishes, & craftmanship of a bygone era; equipped with top-line appliances & mechanical equipment of the modern age. This house was designed for elegant entertaining on a grand scale. It is as sound as a fortress, with double-brick walls imported from Holland, a lifetime slate roof, all-copper gutters and downspouts, poured cement basement, steel I-beam support structure, plaster-on-metal-lath walls, and stone & hardwood floors throughout. The grounds are a work of art, with a circular drive opening to paths through a formal garden with koi pond & waterfall, perennial flower beds, a brick courtyard garden, & a weather of towering mature trees. Now is the time to act on this lovingly restored and very special home.
