Discover a Timeless English Tudor Estate
Nestled on 140 acres of pristine land, this exceptional estate is a masterpiece of craftsmanship and elegance.

Two solid masonry chimneys grace the property, expertly designed to complement four fireplaces, including a breathtaking mirror-image fireplace in the Den/Family Room, crafted with premium Kimberly fire brick and topped with European-style clay chimney caps.
Step inside to be enchanted by the filled Honduras mahogany that adorns the grand foyer and main living areas. The rich, warm tones of this luxurious wood create an inviting atmosphere, enhanced by a filled mahogany front door featuring leaded and beveled glass, and an elegant coffered ceiling in the Den/Family Room. Custom built-in mahogany bookcases, ornate wainscoting, and hand-carved mantels further elevate the interior's opulence.
Light dances throughout the home, thanks to exquisite custom lighting that sets a warm, inviting tone in every room. A massive antique chandelier graces the foyer, while hand-painted crystal fixtures in the dining room, paired with strategically placed accent lighting, highlight the beauty of art and décor.
