About This Home

As of January 2023

Historic Golf Course Retreat Located on a sprawling 4.5 acres, secluded by lush greenery of mature trees on every side, a gorgeous 1920’s stone and wood farmhouse, originally the residence of the owner of the Gruber Wagon Works, boasts incredibly unique features and character touches, inside and out. Only a circular driveway could match the stateliness of the grand facade, embellished by a massive slate patio, guarded by a beautiful stone wall. Through the front entry, you’ll be lured in by the random-width solid wood doors, picture frame molding, plaster walls and ceilings, exposed beams, and deep set windows in the foyer. To your right, you’ll find the fantastic dining room with a stone, wood-burning fireplace, curved walls with decorative wood and molding, corner built-in, and random width/peg hardwood flooring. Across the foyer is the awesome living room, enhanced by exposed beam ceilings, stone, wood-burning fireplace with solid wood mantle, deep set windows, and high hardwood ceilings with large beams, plus a door to the side, screened-in porch. Escape to the den, where you can work by the brick, wood-burning fireplace, while cathedral ceilings with exposed beams, built-in shelving, and access to the back patio also elevate the space. Through to the Quaker Maid kitchen, the built-in range with unique brick surround is the focal point, but the chef will also love the Quaker Maid cabinetry, double sink, Viking refrigerator, built-in dishwasher, deep set windows, tile backsplash, while diners await in the bright breakfast room, featuring slate flooring, wood ceiling, wainscoting, and large windows surrounding the double glass door to back deck and yard. Nearby, the butler’s pantry boasts built-ins with headed glass, a large farm sink, built-in desk, and ice maker. Also on the main level are two carpeted bedrooms, sharing a full bath with tile floor, tub/shower, and pedestal sink. Upstairs, the massive Master bedroom enjoys its own wood burning, stone fireplace, hardwood flooring, exposed beams, walk-in closet/dressing area with access to the bathroom, featuring two other closets, sauna, tile flooring, walk-in stall shower, and Whirlpool tub. Three additional bedrooms are down the hall, one with slanted ceilings, dormers, and two closets, while another has access to the shared full bathroom with Jack & Jill sinks, tile floor, and tub/shower, while all have hardwood underneath carpeting. The lower level with a stone foundation and awesome wood ceiling will transport you to another time, boasting a wine cellar, rec room with brick floor and a brick and stone fireplace, and a great workshop with walkout to backyard, as well as multiple storage areas, a 2-bay garage with older wooden doors, and a walkout door to backyard, plus a laundry room with concrete floor, double sink, and access from 2nd staircase. Enjoy any season in the lovely screened-in porch, featuring stone flooring, a wood ceiling, and the privacy of the surrounding greenery. In the warmer months, head outside for cookouts on the sunshine on the slate, fenced-in patio or take a dip in the Sylvan gunite pool, complete with wooden cabana to serve refreshing cocktails.
