Rare opportunity! Looking to own a unique piece of history? Built in 1893, this beautiful home was the carriage house to the Rockwell estate. Nestled away on park-like grounds, yet convenient to shopping, highways, & area amenities. The craftsmanship of this home--ironwork, stonework, and woodwork—is unparalleled. The magic begins as you enter the foyer with grand staircase and intricate woodwork. The flow of the 1st fl lends itself to multiple entertainment opportunities-from intimate dinners to grand parties. The LR is a showstopper with its large stone fireplace, leaded glass windows, & beamed ceiling. The magic continues as you head down the hall (Please note:carpet has been removed to reveal lovely hardwood floors ready for the new owner’s personal touch-see photos) to the formal DR. The adjacent study with bookshelves and built-ins offers space for an office or place to store/display china & linens. The spacious EIK will make meal prep a breeze. The 1st fl is rounded out w/ a media rm, mudroom, & half-bath/laundry room. Heading upstairs, you'll find two large bedrooms, hall bath, storage closets with built-ins, and the MBR suite. Need extra space to entertain or work on a project? Head to the basement to two finished spaces & extra work rooms. Lovingly enjoyed by the same owner since the 1960s, the home has welcomed local, state, national, and international dignitaries. Now it is ready for its next chapter to be written. Estate Sale/AS IS.
