The centerpiece is a breathtaking 30' x 35' great room with soaring beamed ceilings, a massive fireplace, and natural light pouring through expansive windows. The property has since been thoughtfully expanded by its current owners and was featured in Architectural Digest in 2005. Set on a secluded mid-country acre, the home offers five bedrooms and a seamless indoor-outdoor flow that invites year around entertaining. Designed with both style and practicality in mind, the layout offers generous gathering spaces, private retreats, and a backyard oasis with mature specimen plantings, pool, spa, firepit, grill, bar and covered lounge area. Every detail, from the architectural pedigree to the lifestyle amenities, reflects a rare fusion of history, innovation, and artistry.
