About This Home
The Nightingale Country Estate- Exquisite 5 bedroom residence with additional carriage house that offers a heated 4 car garage and charming one bedroom in-law/guest suite. This "landmark" property is composed of the main house along with the additional buildings on 5.84 acres of lush lawns, 2 spring fed ponds for skating and swimming, along with stunning perennial gardens. To add to the privacy, an additional 9 acre area of open fields, meadows and forest, wrap around the estate and border acres of conservation land and trails. A well known architect was involved with creating a new interior design to enhance and provide many updates to this unique residence. Two ensuite bedrooms on the first level with 3 additional bedrooms on the second floor along with a sitting room. Each room offers a special charm including the solarium with fireplace and radiant heated floors. The gated entrances and stonewalls highlight the beginning of the various hardscape enhancements to enjoy! A treasure!
