Built in 1896 and sited on just over .5 acre of lush landscaped property, the home is one of the oldest continuously occupied residences on the Cow Neck Peninsula.
Crafted of stucco which proudly wears the patina of age, the house represents the apotheosis of the design sensibility at the turn of the 20th century with an emphasis on hand hewn elements.
Framed by broad front & side porches endowing providing the perfect perch from which to admire the magnificent great lawn, the house also features a Porte Cochère leading to an enchanting secret garden and 2-car garage with legal living quarters above.
6 generous bedrooms (2 with fireplaces) include Master with dressing room. The third floor offers a large room ideal for recreation, home office or gym. A home of many rooms & refinements, entirely adaptable to comfortable 21st century living, the house offers 4 fireplaces, burnished hardwood floors (several in an inlaid herringbone pattern), and high ceilings throughout its 3 stories.
