In the family since it's construction in 1895, this shingle style farmhouse was a part of Tranquillity Farm, a gentleman's working farm designed by the prominent American architectural firm, McKim, Mead & White. Set on a crest and overlooking gently rolling meadows and Lake Quassapaug, this was the first summer house of JH Whittemore, a successful industrialist and philanthropist. The vision of Mr. Whittemore's early efforts to secure and protect scenic tracts of land has been sustained by the family giving passerbyer's awe inspiring views for the past 121 years.
With some changes and additions, this 12 room, 4,100+ sq. ft. (4-6 Bedroom) residence still maintains much of the architects fine touches including a tripartite, oriole window in the living room for full enjoy of the beautiful country sunsets. A southerly facing covered porch with four Doric columns overlook the century-old prominent stonewalls and lush meadow. Picture yourself enjoying what generations of the Whittemore's have before - the true peace and tranquility of country life.
