Fondly referred to as the ''The Barn'', this truly distinctive property is rich with European country attributes, coupled with desired modern updates. The deep, fascinating history is beautifully weaved into the immaculately maintained home & grounds. Much of the interior molding, mantles, trim, doors & flooring were sourced from the remnants of the original Galt House. The open floor plan is warm and inviting, with fluid transition from room to room, featuring tall beamed ceilings, excellent natural light and private treetop views. Highlights include: newer windows, spectacular new screened sunporch addition, updated electric & plumbing, dual HVAC, luxury kitchen and bathrooms. Notably, this amazing property is *not* subject to historic preservation rules.
