"LONG AGO ESTATE" - Take a step backwards, Circa 1780, and meet the grandeur of this magnificent 18th Century Greek Revival Estate Home, perfectly situated on its own 2.5 acre private park-like compound. Meticulous period appointments are to be relived and enjoyed here, in this painstakingly maintained residence, while overtime, certain amenities of choice may be modernized, without sacrificing the rich history. As guests enter the estate through iron gates, adding a touch of mystique and seclusion, one is instantly transported to a different century, passing by European inspired sculptures and antique street lamps domestically imported from the streets of Philadelphia, leading up to a circular driveway. The grand private front portico, framed by dramatic, soaring columns, overlooks the expansive grounds, creating a serene outdoor space, rarely duplicated in today's landscape architecture. Internally, original antique chandeliers, gaslights, intricate crown moldings and wide plank hardwood floors run throughout the home, while an opulent staircase with mahogany balustrade and 12' ceilings on the main level establish a luxurious front parlor and living room, ideal for entertaining. More amenities include 7 gas fireplaces (one in each bedroom) with original ornate mantels, eat-in kitchen and formal dining room with elegant French doors, opening to the heated, wood paneled solarium. A stunning detached 3-car garage, complete with lofted space, is worthy of any car collector. This sweeping property easily allows for a pool and pond, which it once had. Only 10 minutes to the new Mario Cuomo Bridge and 30 minutes to the GW Bridge and NYC... ***PROPERTY IS A CANDIDATE FOR TAX GRIEVANCE & OVER ASSESSED BY 30%.
