Remarkable 1916 Dutch Colonial with a history dating back to the Hallowell Granite Quarries! Just think how the motor cars might have stopped under the Portico to drop off their patrons for lavish dinners in the large dinning room. The charm has been retained, but the building has been totally modernized! Quality workmanship still shows in intricate woodwork, 2 striking granite fireplaces, yet another granite kitchen hearth with wood stove, hardwood floors, and chestnut paneled dining room. The 'Great Room' with floor to ceiling fireplace, hard wood floors, and two walls of large windows is your winter entertainment center. A screened-in 36 x 22 attached porch with refinished cedar flooring, off the kitchen is your summer entertainment center. Today you find an up-to-date eat in kitchen with SS appliances, granite counter tops, and an island for seating or prepping. Newer 'Marvin' windows and new redundant (2) boilers will keep you snug all winter! Want more? There is a sweet 1 bedroom apartment over the carriage house, AND the original barn is now a heated 1/2 basketball court with high ceilings and wood flooring. There are 2.74 acres to insure privacy. One area of lawn is flat and large as a football field, perfect for recreation, weddings, or lawn parties. With 3 levels there are a total of 10 rooms, a library, 5 bedrooms, and 3 bathrooms. It is hard to describe all the magic of this property, this elegant home must be seen to be appreciated!
