Description

Introducing: Fawns Leap, a masterclass in historic preservation. Following an exhaustive, $1.5 million meticulous restoration, this property offers a rare real estate dream: the undeniable charm and soul of an antique home, with absolutely none of the discomforts, drafts, or maintenance costs of one. Stripped down to the studs and thoughtfully rebuilt, the exterior boasts completely new sheathing, classic wood clapboards, and all new Anderson windows. Step through the bespoke mahogany front door into a newly created entry hall that welcomes you with warmth and elegance. The interior has been artfully reimagined for modern living while fiercely protecting its heritage. Original doors, pocket doors, and historic fireplace mantels were retained, and layers of old flooring were stripped away to reveal breathtaking, original wood floors throughout. The living room features a cozy propane fireplace and custom bookcases, flowing into a brilliantly reconfigured kitchen. Featuring custom cabinetry, new appliances, exquisite Taj Mahal Brazilian quartzite countertops, serving as a stunning centerpiece for entertaining. The meticulous attention to detail continues into the private spaces of this 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home. It features two beautifully renovated bathrooms, plus a newly added, luxurious primary en suite bathroom with Calacatta marble, illuminated by skylights and a custom transom window.
