Remarkable Country Compound
"HOMEWOOD" - This remarkable country compound is one of the precious few 18th/19th century shingle style colonial revival estates remaining in Fairfield County. Dating back to 1750, the original pre-revolutionary war home captivated the attention of prominent NYC banker, George Haven, who purchased the home in 1890 and expanded it significantly including a glorious 50 foot ballroom designed by Elsie de Wolfe, 19th century designer, rivaling the best of her work in NYC. Today, after $2M of extensive and thoughtful updates over the past decade, Homewood is unparalleled in its historical detail and state-of-the-art features. Total 12,853 square feet on 3 levels with 20+ rooms, 13 original fireplaces, 8+ bedrooms, 7/2 baths; pool house with kitchen, full bth, and changing rooms; heated gunite pool and spa; 3 carriage style garages with porte-cochere; multiple porches/terraces; set on 3.22 manicured and level acres. Highest attention to detail: front to back Great Hall with ingenious ceremonial mahogany staircases; expansive chef's kitchen/butler's pantry; over-sized formal dining room with breakfast alcove; plus primary suite with private balcony, multiple closets and 2 sumptuous bathrooms offering radiant heated floor, steam shower, and jetted tub. Vast 3rd floor with additional bedrooms, artist studios, even a cook book library, plus elevator to all levels in the home. Additional: 9 zones HVAC; 3 zones radiant; generator; irrigation; Glen Gate designed stone terraces, flowering gardens/orchard; all in premier Silver Spring location, just moments to the NY border.
