Property Description

Perched atop a hill with views that stretch for miles, this brick residence captures equally stunning sunrises and sunsets—a private vantage point where timeless craftsmanship meets modern luxury. 7,000+ square feet of living space, fully renovated in 2026, sits on almost 12 acres of rolling lawns, mature landscaping, and a historic stone barn, all reached by a picturesque apple tree-lined drive. The 2026 renovation runs top to bottom: a reimagined kitchen with quartz countertops, updated baths, a new roof, and new garage doors mean the heavy lifting is done. Built in 1990 and thoughtfully brought into the present, the home pairs solid brick construction with fresh, modern finishes. Inside, an exceptional floor plan flexes effortlessly between quiet everyday living and grand-scale entertaining—expansive rooms, custom details, and walls of windows that fill the space with natural light and frame those sweeping countryside views from every angle. Outside is just as compelling. The all-original stone barn anchors the entrance—a striking historic landmark with endless possibility, whether as a workshop, studio, collector’s space, or your own next vision. Beyond it, open acreage and mature apple trees give way to nearly five acres of private woodland laced with your own walking trails—a rare retreat for morning hikes, quiet afternoons, or simply space that’s entirely yours. Panoramic hilltop views and a true country lifestyle round out the setting, with shopping, dining, and major commuter routes still within easy reach. A luxury family estate or a private sanctuary with room to breathe—this property is both. Estates of this caliber rarely come to market. Schedule your private tour.
