Description

Standing with regal beauty and steeped in history, this stone house is an extraordinary preservation of the original Manor House built in 1801 for a wealthy landowner. Major renovations and restoration work were done in 2005. Included were new electrical wiring, plumbing, and roof. The character and details of the original house blend with every modern convenience to create a gracious and elegant home. In immaculate condition and truly move-in ready, it is sited on more than four acres. A distinguished covered entrance into Curley Mill Manor is prelude to what awaits you. Filled with architectural and special features, this home was once a Bed & Breakfast and the four upstairs bedrooms all have bathrooms. Most of the first floor has 9+GG ceilings, in itself a wonder for a 222 year old house. From the living room step into a cozy 11 window sunroom bright with natural light and a door to the outside. A large dining room was always prevalent in houses in the 1800s and this one doesn+GGt disappoint. Stunning custom built cabinetry in the kitchen includes a serving center, granite countertops, a wide peninsula with farm sink and seating for four, and a door to another side of the house. Off the kitchen is the mudroom/laundry with access to the foyer and an exterior door to the exquisite bluestone patio. From the kitchen step up to a back staircase that brings you to the private main bedroom and bath or step down into the enormous family room with exquisite custom milled floor and beam and a propane fueled fireplace. A coat closet and powder room are also in this multi-purpose area. You+GGre not done yet! In 2008 an unfinished area of concrete floor and partial walls was turned into an enclosed porch with plexiglass windows and screens, a vaulted wood ceiling. An exterior door leads to the patio through a hidden path under evergreen trees. An original staircase in the foyer takes you up to four spacious bedrooms all with their own bath. Three are ensuite and one just outside in the hall. This beautiful property is a treasure that includes an unattached garage/barn that can accommodate four cars and two horses and has plenty of storage room. There is also a gazebo, a charming well house, extensive hardscaping and exquisite landscaping plus a circular main driveway and an additional driveway to Curly Mill Road. Privacy, stunning ambiance inside and outside, updated, and convenient location to commuting routes, shopping, dining, entertainment and recreation (5 minutes to Peace Valley Park for hiking, canoeing/kayaking ). Welcome home to history, gracious living, and a distinguished residence.
