At the center of the estate sits a solidly built 3,500-square-foot mid-century modern home, constructed entirely of cinder block and wrapped in a full brick exterior—an uncommon level of durability that stands the test of time. Inside, the home showcases distinctive architectural details, including expansive plate-glass casement windows, original marble window sills in the kitchen and baths, and slate flooring and accents that flow seamlessly from interior to exterior spaces.
Designed with comfort and longevity in mind, the main level features three generously sized bedrooms, two full baths, and a cozy wood-burning fireplace—making it ideal for those looking to age in place. A striking oak staircase with wrought-iron spindles leads to the fully finished lower level, where a second wood-burning fireplace, a 5' x 9' slate pool table, and a spacious wet bar create the perfect setting for entertaining, holidays, and lasting memories.
Outdoor living is equally inviting, with an elevated back porch and deck offering peaceful views of the surrounding landscape. A grand carport and expansive gathering areas add both convenience and charm, while the home's original front door serves as a timeless nod to its mid-century roots.
Lovingly maintained by just its second family over the past 49 years, the property has been thoughtfully updated with a newer roof (7 years), copper plumbing, and modern connectivity including cable and FiOS internet.
For equestrian enthusiasts and outdoor lovers alike, the grounds are truly exceptional. A picturesque 1-acre stocked pond with a fountain provides opportunities for fishing, canoeing, kayaking, or quiet reflection. The barn—currently configured with two horse stalls (with room for a third)—offers comfortable accommodations, complemented by ample pasture for grazing. There is abundant space for tractors, equipment, and recreational vehicles, making it equally suited for farming, trail riding, or outdoor adventure.
This is more than a home—it's a legacy property. With its rare combination of vintage strength, thoughtful updates, and breathtaking acreage, this estate is ready to welcome its next chapter.
