ANNE PEOPLES, REALTOR

Description

Introducing "Fairview", a distinguished and striking residence rich in history. Originally built in 1795 and set on 2.24 acres, this unique and expansive property offers ample space to entertain, explore, and enjoy everyday living. The interior is a seamless blend of modern-day luxury with original charm and details that cannot be replicated. Wide-plank oak flooring, original plaster moldings, and hand-blown glass windows are among some of the unique features of this home. A two-story side porch flanked with columns inspired by Georgian Revival architecture offers a true extension of living space into the outdoors, with sweeping views of the grounds and pool. Situated next to Mill Creek, the spring-fed pool is an absolute highlight—and unique in its size alone. The pool was constructed in 1928 and fully renovated in 2023. The first floor features a classic center hall foyer layout, with a generously sized living room to the left and a dining room to the right. The living room includes the original marble fireplace surround, plaster moldings, and built-ins. A gas fireplace insert offers both additional warmth and ambiance. The dining room has many quaint built-ins, a second fireplace, and windows facing both the front and the side porch. Through the dining room, you'll find the renovated kitchen with quartzite counters, a custom range hood, top-of-the-line appliances, and inset cabinetry. The stone fireplace in the kitchen was the original stove for the home—a nod to the rich history inherent in the estate. Beyond the kitchen is a stunning dry bar and beverage center, a convenient first-floor laundry and powder room, and a mudroom/office space that opens to the garage. The primary suite features a functional fireplace, a walk-in dressing room, and a tastefully renovated bathroom with heated floors, a soaking tub, and a walk-in shower with zellige tile walls. A second-floor family room opens to the hall and an additional bedroom. The hall bath serves the two guest bedrooms on this level, and there is also a back staircase leading to the third floor. On the third floor, there are three bedrooms, a full bathroom, an additional room currently used for off-season storage, and an exercise space. Both functional and cosmetic renovations have taken place during the current ownership, many within the past two to three years, including: an updated kitchen with all new appliances, a custom range hood, dry bar with wine/beverage center, pizza oven and two beverage refrigerators on the side porch, a first-floor powder room with radiant heated mosaic marble flooring, custom mudroom cubbies, a primary bathroom with radiant heated marble floors, and all new HVAC systems. The pool underwent significant renovations recently, including all new systems, sun shelf and integrated umbrellas, all new lighting, and new flagstone decking. The home also features a slate roof installed in recent years, in keeping with the character of the property.
