About This Home

As of May 2022

This exceptional country farmhouse with heated pool is located on almost 2 acres in the heart of historic Silvermine. Originally an 1800's barn, in the early 1900s a house was constructed around the barn. In 1988 a further addition was done by Lawrence Eagleburger, former, Secretary of State. The result, a marvelous combination of old and new, large, gracious rooms, high ceilings, 5 bedrooms including an in-law suite. Together with beautiful grounds and white picket fences this house has it all.
