Property Description

This exceptional residence, one of Sharon's most historic properties, occupies much of the original 1812 Georgian mansion, home to a notable family, including William F. Buckley, Jr., for over a century. The layout is spacious & flexible, offering multiple options for purchase: 1) purchase in its current layout as a spacious, 6-bedroom residence, 2) divide the current 6-bedroom residence into two spacious 3-bedroom residences, 3) additionally acquire the north wing to recreate a more complete version of the original mansion for use as an expansive single-family residence, a family compound, or separate residences for rental income. The current 6,716 sq ft home has been thoughtfully restored & offers 6 bedrooms with primary suites on both levels, 7 full baths, and 2 powder rooms. The kitchen opens to a stunning library & informal dining area, complemented by formal living & dining rooms, a family room, office, gym, den, laundry room and 7 fireplaces. At the center of the home, a dramatic three-story 1250 sq foot glass atrium (the 1,250 sq ft is not included in the 6,716 sq ft) - enclosing the 1929 courtyard - creates a year-round living space that brings light & openness into the core of the home. This is estate living with the ease of a managed community. Enjoy beautifully maintained grounds with specimen trees & beautiful plantings. Amenities include: junior Olympic-sized heated pool, pool house, tennis court & separate paddle/pickle courts and more. More info below.
