DESCRIPCIÓN

Introducing mossford estate, a historic country residence that comes along once in a generation.  On the market for the first time in 40 years, this circa 1800 property is a superb example of federal-style architecture.  Set on 144 acres, the sprawling estate includes an antique barn, swimming pond, tennis court, five fireplaces, a stone patio, and a wealth of period details.  The oldest part of the house is a classic side-hall colonial, featuring nine-over-nine windows with wavy glass.  Inside, a formal living room and dining area with built-in china displays and hand-painted floors offer space for 14 guests, while a sunny, south-facing breakfast nook adjoins the modern kitchen.  The centerpiece of the main level is a soaring, double-height den—likely a former barn conversion—that evokes the feel of a ralph lauren-style adirondack lodge, rustic yet refined.  A cozy sitting room with a fireplace adjoins a full bath and laundry area, adding comfort and function to the home's main floor.  Upstairs, the primary suite includes a fireplace and full bath, while a wide hallway with a darling reading nook leads to three large bedrooms and a third full bath.  Every room reflects the owners' meticulous care in preserving and replicating 19th-century details, from antique fixtures and thoughtfully chosen wallcoverings to original faux bois painted doors.  Behind the house, a brick and stone patio is bordered by mature perennial gardens, creating a peaceful spot for outdoor dining and entertaining.  A gently sloping lawn leads to a fenced tennis court, and a vegetable garden and potting shed make homegrown meals a part of everyday life.  Across the quiet gravel road, a 30x40 antique barn with a new standing seam metal roof sits on a stone foundation, with a private swimming pond just beyond, glimpsed through the trees.  In every direction, mossford estate captures the essence of refined country living at its very best.
