Fall in love with this jaw-dropping majestic estate the moment you cross over the country bridge where 3.5 bucolic acres opens up to welcome you. Travel along the white picket fence, where this stunning 110 foot wide Georgian colonial beckons you, and enter a charming front yard through the arched arbor, to admire the 8 foot high Red Sevillana rose hedge - blending perfectly with the Sally Holmes rose hedge bordering the upper parking area- and highlighted by a 3 tier Italian fountain featuring a Pegasus design as well as a well-lit 12x16 gazebo flanked by cherry blossom trees. 22 foot Ionic columns grace the entrance of the wide veranda, which provides the perfect space to sip summer lemonade, or impress guests with Holiday decor.
