Property Description

Welcome to Historic Garfield Estates, a remarkable Civil War-era residence and one of the area's true architectural treasures. Lovingly preserved by only its fourth owners in more than 160 years, this grand home retains an extraordinary collection of original details while offering thoughtful updates for modern living. Throughout the home, you'll find exceptional craftsmanship, including an original hand-carved fireplace mantel with Civil War-era finger molding, one-of-a-kind embossed leather wall coverings in the den, parquet floors, gilded picture moldings, marble floors, cedar-lined closets, and beautiful leaded glass windows. Period-appropriate antique lighting was carefully selected, including a stunning Daum crystal chandelier from Paris. The custom kitchen features handcrafted quarter-sawn oak cabinetry, soapstone countertops, a soapstone sink, a custom French-door wall oven, and an outstanding butler's pantry. Elegant bath suites blend historic charm with modern convenience. The first floor offers a breakfast room, formal dining room, living room, den, screened porch, full bath, and bedroom. Upstairs are three spacious bedrooms, a second screened porch, and a beautifully appointed full bathroom. Situated on just over an acre, the property was once comprised of three separate lots and offers a private, park-like setting. Outdoor amenities include a heated in-ground gunite pool, a recently installed heated swim spa housed in its own custom building, and enchanting grounds complete with a hidden secret garden. The two-car carriage house provides additional storage and features an incredible second-floor gathering space perfect for entertaining, hobbies, or a private retreat. Rich in history and architectural integrity, Garfield Estates offers a rare opportunity to own a true local landmark. Whether enjoyed as a grand private residence or explored as a potential bed-and-breakfast, this spectacular property is ready for its next steward.
