#1: Elegant Georgian Estate

It is not often that a home of this quality and character, designed by an internationally recognized architect and set on eight acres close to town comes on the market.

Each room has its own distinctive character achieved through the inspired mix of materials and surfaces, from the grand scale entrance hall, living room, and dining room––each with richly-detailed plaster crown mouldings––to the family room with a curved wall of windows trimmed in pine to match the coffered ceiling beams. The house also includes a paneled library, a gourmet kitchen, a master bedroom suite with his-and-her sitting rooms and baths, three additional en suite bedrooms, a loft apartment, a sunroom, a home theater, a wine cellar, a billiard room, and a gym. The property features a gated entrance and a long, private drive through lush plantings to a large parking court with fountain.
