Greek Revival Splendor! A structure of noble proportions & architectural significance stands prominently at the center of this pastoral expanse. This 13+acre estate features a cleared upper meadow with open western views, presenting another prime building opportunity to capture the sunsets over Steep Rock Preserve. Currently under renovation, the floor plan has been fully opened up to create spacious living areas with high ceilings, marrying the grandeur of the past with the modern desire for open, airy spaces. Previously a 6 bed, 4.5 bath home which has been totally cleared out to the studs, this is an honest house; a total blank canvas! Key upgrades include wide-plank chestnut flooring, newly installed HVAC and plumbing together with cast iron radiators for each room. The exterior is adorned with new wood siding, windows, cedar shingle roof and a copper roof, elements that speak to the quality and attention to detail that will define this renovation. On-site materials, both new & original, are available to aid in the restoration and customization of the structures, allowing for a seamless blend of old-world craftsmanship & contemporary convenience. A Pool, historic stone walls, spring-fed pond and rustic barn on the property add to the allure. With a historical pedigree that is sure to impress, this property is ready for its next steward, offering a tremendous opportunity to customize and create a personal haven. Survey, Renderings & Floorplans are available upon request.

Situated on over 13 acres in Washington, CT is the estate of iconic fashion photographer, William D. Helburn. This impressive antique Greek Revival is expansive and airy with over 4700 sq ft of living space and includes a guest/caretaker apartment. The park-like grounds include rolling lawns, beautiful stonewalls, large rhododendrons, mature plantings, skating pond and large bluestone patio overlooking gunite pool is everything you can ask for. A storybook playhouse sits at the edge of the woods through an opening in the stonewalls. There is also a detached garage/barn with fencing which could possibly be converted to a stable for a horse or two. A walkway made of old large stones and flanked by two ancient trees leads to the main entrance with two dreamy symmetrically columned covered porches on either side. The interior of the house features bright large rooms, original oak and chestnut wide board wood floors, exposed beams and charming built-ins. Whilst this property needs restoration, it is well worth bringing it back to its full original glory. Come take a look and fall in love! House is being sold "as-is."
