Description:

Multiple offers received. Highest and best by 5:00pm, Tuesday September 1st. Set on 5.47 private acres with access from both North Salem Road and Old Sib Road, this remarkable 1928 residence presents a rare opportunity to reimagine an estate rich in history, character and extraordinary potential. Tucked at the top of a long approach, the 10-room, 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath home is a true time capsule, retaining architectural details that speak to its nearly century-old past, including original Hope steel windows, textured stucco, period millwork and beautifully proportioned rooms. The home unfolds with an understated European sensibility, offering a series of distinctive spaces including gracious living and dining rooms. An expansive, light-filled sunroom was added in 1960. Original details and unexpected architectural moments offer a foundation for thoughtful restoration while leaving room to make it your own. The property itself is equally compelling. A four-stall barn with tack room and attached shed, riding ring and paddock reflect its longtime equestrian use and offer possibilities for horses, hobby farming or the creation of a private country compound. A detached guest house/garage provides additional space ready to be completely reimagined. Property may offer subdivision potential, subject to buyer due diligence and all applicable municipal and regulatory approvals. A rare opportunity for the buyer with vision to bring this distinctive property into its next chapter
