Property Description

Set atop a gentle rise in a storybook woodland setting, this extraordinary estate originally built in 1926 for Elizabeth Harrison Walker, daughter of the 23rd President of the United States, Benjamin Harrison, and granddaughter of the 9th President William Henry Harrison. A rare offering steeped in American History, the home blends architectural charm, refined design, and modern luxury across expansive, beautifully landscaped grounds. Behind its striking steep-gabled facade and original stucco exterior lies an impeccably renovated interior that honors its heritage while embracing contemporary elegance. The gracious entry hall with checkerboard marble flooring and a sweeping staircase leads to a series of stunning rooms, including a grand fireside living room, a richly paneled dining room with bold wallpaper and fireplace, and a sun-filled sitting room with arched windows overlooking lush gardens. The kitchen is a vibrant, designer showpiece with custom cabinetry, a large center island, and color tilework. A dramatic vaulted office space nestles beneath the home's distinctive roofline- an inspiring retreat with treetop views. Outside, enjoy elegant terraces, curated gardens, and multiple lounging and dining areas perfect for entertaining. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a residence with an unparalleled historical pedigree and timeless beauty! Thoughtfully modernized, this residence boasts a full-house generator, commercial grade wi-fi, heated floors in two bathrooms and an outdoor saltwater hot tub. Updates include all-new bathrooms, a primary suite with jacuzzi tub, jack-and-jill bath, and a new washer/dryer. New windows and a redone tennis court. Exterior upgrades feature all-new bluestone patios, an updated irrigation system, new outdoor lighting, fido-fencing for dogs, and a fortified retaining wall with Belgium block along the driveway.
