About This Home
As of April 2022Old Oaks is an enchanting property in the heart of Centerville within easy walking distance to the historic 18th century village and minutes away from Winterthur, Longwood Gardens, and several nationally recognized private country clubs. A breathtaking 2.37 acre estate property that has been meticulously landscaped with rare ornamental cultivars, hand crafted stone features and numerous fountains artfully sculpted to enhance the natural forest below towering ancient oaks. Some properties loom larger than the vocabulary that attempts to describe them. This IS one of those places.
This property is defined by its character not its size. Built in the Pennsylvania Farmhouse style, it is very cozy and not pretentious. It is inviting and full of custom features throughout; decorative millwork, exotic wood finishes, natural stone features and loads of light. Seemingly, every window has a wonderfully framed, purposeful view of nature carefully planned by the original owner; a lifetime landscape architect and lifetime Old Oaks resident. Its character is defined by the special touches on the interior and the spectacular landscape outside.
Multiple stone terraces, patios, balconies and even an outside shower add to the fun. There are many gravel and stone paths, spring fed ponds and numerous quaint sitting areas with whimsical statues that are very charming. Location, privacy, natural beauty and unmatched character-Old Oaks.
