From The Archives

Magnificently restored circa 1800’s stone farmhouse on an unfolding romantic storybook setting of two-plus picture perfect terraced acres. Soothing echoes from the spring-fed koi pond are complimented by a two tier bank barn. Rock walls carry the eye to flagstone patios and walkways to split rail fencing, mature trees and plantings for a burst of seasonal fragrance and color. Exquisite design and eclectic décor is the interior hallmark of this fabulous antique home. Renovations and additions over the years exude charm and distinctive architectural touches within the beautifully presented rooms. Exposed beams, antique hemlock and pine floors, and cupboards are complimented by deep-set windows and three fireplaces that warm the heart and create a mood of refinement that is timeless.

This newer old house is unconventional and eclectic with charming nooks and crannies. The original part of the home features an inviting living room with built-in shelving, wide pine floors, wet bar, and wood burning fireplace capped by circa 1810 mantle. Exit to a screened-in porch or to the 2003 addition complete with full bath, family room with gas fireplace, or fourth bedroom with a cathedral ceiling office above. An equally well-appointed dining room is centered by a gas log fireplace framed in raised paneling. It features lighted china cupboards and wide board oak floors. The room opens to a country kitchen with its abundant Brookhaven™ made by WoodMode™ cabinetry topped by polished granite, and well equipped wood paneled Miele™ dishwasher, SubZero™ refrigerator, stainless steel Dacor™ four-burner stove, and stylish stainless steel exhaust. Handmade tile and inlay backsplash give rich accent to the cabinets. A comfortable breakfast area overlooks the gorgeous grounds and opens to the patio. On the third level, the stylish master suite offers comfort and privacy from the remaining bedrooms. It provides double delights of an accented fireplace and light-bathed sitting and dressing areas with ample closet space. The luxurious master bath hosts tiled shower with frameless glass door and leaded glass window.

The unique lifestyle offered by this country home also embraces its fantastic outdoors, highlighted by a concrete lined koi pond, bank barn with paddock, studio, and patios. Elegant, yet with a casual country attitude complimented by unsurpassed beauty of the grounds with its natural splendor make this special property a remarkable country living experience in the Clinton township countryside, minutes from Interstate 78 at the Cokesbury exit, 20B
