Description
History meets luxury in this breathtaking 1859 Gothic Revival estate. Originally built for Benjamin Pitman, this architectural gem elegantly preserves its storied past while offering a modern evolution. The main level is a true showstopper, anchored by a grand living room with soaring floor-to-ceiling windows and a cozy gas fireplace. Nearby, the chef’s kitchen shines with sleek granite counters and a charming butler’s pantry designed for seamless entertaining. The second floor hosts four spacious bedrooms, while the third floor offers a flexible space that could serve as a private fifth bedroom suite complete with its own full bath. In the second floor primary bedroom suite, you will find a dedicated dressing room and a spa-inspired bath that feels like a daily retreat. Outside, the grounds transform into a private oasis with a stylish pergola, courtyard with mature plantings, an outdoor kitchen, and a sizable two-stall garage with paver driveway. Other updates include recent exterior painting and a high efficiency heating and central A/C heat pump system. This is a rare opportunity to own a meticulously updated piece of local architectural history.
