| Wyndemere Real Estate Co., Inc. is proud to announce the Exclusive Listing of a one of a kind bucolic country home. The setting as you drive up the long drive is truly beautiful. As you cross the small bridge over the stream, the house and carriage house peek out of the trees at you suggesting times past.
The property had been on 111 acres even as early as 1827, as recorded in the courthouse. Prior to that, it is rumored to have been on 157 acres. There was a large barn which was lost to a fire in 1937. The present “carriage house” was called the “wagon house” at the turn of the last century.
This home is situated on 11.81 acres which host a pond, stream, and pool. There is also tennis court, tennis “lanai” for watching the game at the net while sipping mint juleps! The “milk house” holds the pool filter and pool heater.
The older part of the house – the Dining Room – is rumored to have been built in 1792 and features an 8 foot wide limestone fireplace with colonial mantel. The front section of the house was built in 1841 and was a tavern in 1843. There are four fireplaces throughout the house, adding to the character and charm.
The library features two walls of glass cabinets to hold your favorite books or art displays. The living room has a coffered ceiling.
The rest of the house consists of 4 bedrooms, 3 baths and the nicest attic with two rooms and four walk-in closets.
The systems of the house have generally been upgraded: new top of the line furnace, 4 years young, two oil tanks in the basement, substantial electrical upgrades and newer appliances in a highly serviceable kitchen.
