Property Description
Historic 1845 Traditional/Federal Estate Nearly 8,000 Sq Ft Modern Luxury Crafted to Match 19th-Century Charm. Step into a rare blend of historic character and sophisticated modern craftsmanship in this Traditional/Federal-style estate, originally built in 1845 and thoughtfully expanded in 2009–2010. Every addition was meticulously designed to mirror the home's original architectural details, resulting in a seamless integration of old-world charm and contemporary comfort across nearly 8,000 square feet of living space. Offering 5 bedrooms and 5 full bathrooms, the home provides exceptional flexibility for families, guests, and long-term visitors. A complete mother-in-law suite adds valuable independent living space with privacy and comfort, ideal for multigenerational living, extended stays, or premium guest accommodations. An energy efficient Geothermal system provides the primary heating and cooling source. Inside, 10-foot ceilings and ten fireplaces with gas logs create a warm, inviting atmosphere throughout. Light flows through insulated windows fitted with plantation shutters, enhancing beauty and energy efficiency. Modern systems include geothermal heating and cooling, a standing seam metal roof, and a whole-home propane generator, ensuring lasting comfort and reliability. A wide driveway crafted from durable concrete pavers leads to the three-car garage, while a white vinyl fenced yard and mature trees frame the property with timeless curb appeal. An original Smokehouse building sits on the property just behind the home and is in great condition. Outdoor living is equally impressive, with beautiful views from the balcony and deck, offering peaceful spaces to relax or entertain while overlooking the surrounding landscape. This extraordinary estate combines the grace of its 19th-century origins with the convenience and performance of modern systems—an exceptional opportunity for those seeking history, scale, and refined living in one remarkable home.
