Property Description
The John Dee Estate is a 3 storied haven that has stood as a pillar of the community & a monument to craftsmanship & devotion. From its birth 4 yrs after the founding of our great nation USA , this true center hall Greek Revival has welcomed all who crossed its threshold with warmth & elegance. Its 5 bedroom/3.5 bath provide ample space for comfort, while the grand formal and informal dining rooms whisper of candlelit feasts & laughter carried into the night. Whether entertaining in the formal living room or gathering fireside in the rustic family room, this is a home that embraces both grandeur & intimacy. Venturing through its halls, you will find treasures of another era, a secret staircase leading to the primary retreat, where morning light spills through its bay windows. Beneath your feet, radiant heat floors ensure warmth, while above, the home is crowned with a newer copper and slate roof, a testament to the meticulous care bestowed upon this estate. Beyond the home, 14.4 acres of rolling countryside stretch toward the horizon, where the past remains ever-present. Once home to Native tribes & English settlers, this land has been shaped by those who walked it before, each step woven into its very soul. Wander the English gardens, where blooms nod in the breeze; cast a line into one of two tranquil ponds; or simply stand amidst the meadows, watching the sun dip below the tree line in a glorious display of vibrant sunset.
And then, there is the barn, a towering 7,200-square-foot structure of early American craftsmanship, standing in noble defiance of time. Hewn from the mighty American Chestnut, a timber now lost to history, it is a monument to resilience, its massive beams whispering of the hands that shaped them. Lovingly restored, its roof renewed, and foundation reinforced, it stands ready to endure another century, a love letter to a vanished forest and the artisans who built it.
This is more than a home, it is a passage through time, the estate remains an elegant timepiece of today, while every custom detail within the home ensures modern comfort without sacrificing its soul. Come, walk these halls. Let the past embrace you, let the land enchant you, and let your heart find its place in this unbelievable historical treasure.
