Set behind gates on a sprawling private estate, this historic Tudor stands as the area’s most iconic residence, rich in character, scale, and enduring craftsmanship. A cobblestone drive winds through a classic porte cochère, setting the tone for what lies beyond. Inside, a grand foyer introduces the home’s remarkable preservation, where original woodwork, an arched entry, and a stately staircase create an unforgettable first impression. Every space tells a story, now enhanced by the convenience of an elevator thoughtfully integrated to provide effortless access across levels, along with a whole-property Bose sound system that elevates the living experience throughout. The kitchen blends old-world charm with refined functionality, featuring a pressed tin ceiling, exposed beams, a hammered copper sink, and a Viking range, flowing seamlessly into an intimate sitting area with a fireplace and dramatic arched window. Designed for both grand entertaining and quiet moments, the home offers a formal dining room with coffered ceilings and leaded glass cabinetry, a richly detailed living room with a period fireplace, and a sunlit conservatory framed by French doors. A billiards room with wet bar, an expansive library, and additional sun and garden rooms complete the main level. Upstairs, eight bedrooms and four full baths provide exceptional space, while the finished third level offers flexibility for additional living or retreat. The estate grounds are equally impressive. A private sanctuary featuring mature landscaping, a pool, tennis and basketball courts, and even a small vineyard. A detached garage with a fully equipped studio apartment adds to the property’s versatility, while a Generac whole-house generator provides added peace of mind and dependable backup power for the estate. This is more than a home. It is a rare opportunity to own a piece of history, thoughtfully preserved and impossible to replicate.
