About This Home

Nestled atop Fairmount Hill, this rare & private estate offers an unparalleled retreat of tranquility & exclusivity. Cherished by only two households, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of history. A winding brick stairway guides you to a secluded lot unveiling a breathtaking panoramic view of Minto Brown Island Park's nature reserve. Designed to honor its storied past, the home is built on the exact foundation of the original George Putnam estate, preserving the lush landscaping, camellia grove, and historic cobblestone walkways. Set within enchanting grounds, this estate is a private oasis in the heart of town, offering a level of serenity and seclusion that is truly a rare find.
