Originally built in 1770, this free-standing Colonial home has been enlarged several times during the past 241 years. In 1992 the renowned architect Allen Greenberg transformed this house into one of Old Town’s finest residences. Sited on three city lots, this extraordinary home offers a great deal of privacy, gracious sized rooms, exquisite millwork throughout and six fireplaces with carved limestone mantels. Robert Jackson, well respected artist who has done painting in the White House, painted the intricate mural in the living room.

The sunny living room offers high ceilings, extensive millwork, bookshelves, a fireplace with a limestone mantel, and trompe l’oeile hand-painted doors concealing an entertainment system within the bookshelves. This room is the earliest portion of the home.

The second parlor is breathtaking with the hand-painted floor-to-ceiling mural by Robert Jackson. The wall cabinets are original to the house, relocated during the renovation. Glass French doors can be opened or closed for privacy. A large by window offers a focal point for a piano. Tall ceilings in the dining room and a fireplace with another antique limestone mantel offer a fabulous place to entertain.

The most recent addition to the residence is the kitchen, pantry closets, flower arranging room, and beyond. With wall of windows and curved floor-to-ceiling windows and doors, this chef’s kitchen offers white marble counter tops, a double glass door Traulsen refrigerator, a Thermador cooktop with a pot filler faucet, double Gaggeneau convection ovens, each with rotisserie and pizza stones. An inviting breakfast room and sitting area with fireplace complete this unique sun-drenched room overlooking the columned pergola and south garden area.

A flower arranging room offers a center island work space with storage below, a brass sink area with brass faucets, plus access to the north garden and smokehouse. A wet bar with Subzero icemaker and wine cooler is concealed behind the double doors.

A serene master suite is the width of the house. Five windows bring light in while the glow of its gas fireplace lights the evenings. A master dressing room features a limestone-topped table with a four-way system of locking drawers, multiple closets, another fireplace, and a large bay window allowing much natural light. The luxurious white Tassos marble master bath features a heated floor, a Vitrafoam glass counter top and sink between two marble-topped fluted cabinets. A circular keyed window sits over the tub plus there is a large separate shower.

Brass railed stairs welcome you into the theatre with steps that are lit. A complete video system was designed by Integrated Media along with camel flannel walls for acoustics. A kitchenette adjoins this media center with a Subzero refrigerator, icemaker, and microwave.

A heated and air conditioned two-car garage features handsome carriage-style doors designed by Allen Greenberg, beadboard walls, a tile floor, and built-in storage cabinets. A cobblestone driveway offers additional parking with motion sensor lighting.
