Pleasant Banks, circa 1752, an early planter’s home preserves the authenticity of the architecture. Original elements that provide the unique character of this home include time-worn wide-plank flooring, beaded wainscoting, solid wood-panel doors, three brick fireplaces, a winding staircase, and simple, handsome trim. The traditional Georgian architecture offers a central hall with a parlor on onside and a dining room on the other, both with fireplaces. The first floor also includes a bright kitchen, laundry, and a bedroom with a half bath. The second floor has two gracious bedrooms with fireplaces, a full bath, and two additional smaller rooms – ideal for an office, study, or den. Situated on 1.3 private acres near the town of White Stone, the property offers quaint gardens, an open lawn, a delightful shade house, and a large shed. This location affords the convenience of the nearby towns of White Stone, Irvington, and Kilmarnock presenting an ever-evolving variety of activities, food and drink, arts and culture, and wellness activities.
