Known as "The Bungalow", this spectacular Tudor-inspired estate set on 43.8 private acres is one of architect Alfredo S.G. Taylor's finest designs. Built in 1908 for a Remington Arms heiress, the home seamlessly blends Gilded Age grandeur with exceptional modern luxury. The dramatic great hall features soaring 40-foot timber ceilings, a monumental stone fireplace, and exquisite fieldstone and half-timber construction. Thoughtfully updated throughout, the home offers a stunning new eat-in chef's kitchen complete with a butler's pantry and premium appliances, including a True glass-door refrigerator, Miele dishwasher, Wolf warming drawers, Sub-Zero wine and beverage refrigerator, and an exceptional custom range with handcrafted hood. The luxurious marble-clad bathrooms have been beautifully renovated with Kohler fixtures, while custom cabinetry, updated electrical systems, and meticulous craftsmanship elevate every space. Spectacular balconies and a wraparound veranda extend from the main living areas, providing breathtaking views across the surrounding landscape. Offering 6 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, and 6,766 square feet of living space, the estate is set amid lightly wooded grounds with expansive northern vistas. Additional amenities include a guest house, barn, formal gardens, and a picturesque pond. Approached by a winding, newly improved drive, the residence sits atop a private ridge and culminates in a gracious porte-cochere, creating a sense of arrival rarely found.
