With buildings dating back to the 1890's and 1910, this historic compound has been preserved and brought up to 21st century life with purity and sophistication. The main house has been carefully restored and updated with a dramatic stairwell entry, a sleek marble/stainless kitchen with island, closets upon closets, and pre-wiring for audio/visual needs. There are three bedrooms on the upper level and one on the walk-out lower level, each with its own special bathroom. The original open porch has been adapted for year round pleasure overlooking an Adirondack type setting yet only 9 miles west of the city. A gate house can be adapted for guest or office use and the barn features ample car/garage space with a second floor ideal for a studio or an exercise room. A shed for garden equipment or tools completes the complex. Century old trees and mature specimens and a gravel drive dignify this "country" property. Room for a pool.
