Step back in time, way back, when you enter this luxurious home. A large c1720 dairy barn framed with massive beams, expertly joined, survives as the backbone and heart of a modern residence. Set in prestigious Quaker Hill, surrounded by gracious equestrian estates the home is on 12 acres with the adjoining 26 acre field and barn included. A no-expense-spared project was undertaken to convert the historic barn structure to the pinnacle of style and gracious living that it is now. The old world craftsmanship of the 300 year old post and beam construction is exposed throughout the home, but most auspiciously in the center great room. The ceiling soars 30 feet over the living room, with a second floor balcony looking down from above, all framed with huge beams that have been in place for centuries. The living room is flanked by a library and staircase at the front and is open to the dining room and kitchen, both with breathtaking views across the backyard. Two pair of French doors lead from the dining room to the multilevel back deck. A billiard room is behind the dining room with access to full bath. The kitchen has a dining nook with a view and is appointed with a Garland professional gas range, brick floor and exposed beams. The master suite on the first floor features a fireplace, double French doors to the outdoors, a fantastic view, exposed beams with a cathedral wood ceiling, exercise room, and an en suite bath with every amenity. Another bedroom on the first floor has its own full bath. The staircase from the first floor leads to the balcony and two bedrooms sharing a bath, another master suite with full bath and exposed beams, and a bright study at the rear of the balcony. The lower level has a media room, cedar closet, wine cellar, full bath, and a dining area and lounge that opens to the air, the view, and the fantastic pool and spa. The massive deck overlooks the pool and features a complete outdoor kitchen and wet bar. Other buildings included are a three car detached garage with legal apartment above and an equipment shed. The 26 acre parcel runs the length of the driveway leading to the house and is divided into four paddocks apx. 4.7, 4.5, 0.3 and 0.2 acres. A barn and silo are in the 4.5 acre paddock. You won't find a property with such history, luxury and possibilities anywhere.
