A winding private lane weaves almost a half mile through woodlands and past stone walls and ends in a mystical setting. Set on 50 acres, this circa 1863 home is a culmination of many a heart's desire - a historic home, in pristine condition, on generous acreage and under 2 hours from New York City. Meticulous renovations and improvements have been completed recently by a devoted steward with an eye for whimsy and detail. Heart pine floors lead from a classic living room with fireplace to a cozy den with cherry paneled walls. An elegant dining room opens to a bar modeled after the Oak Room Bar at the Plaza Hotel, and a sunny atrium with walls of windows. The chef's kitchen, designed with a nod to a professional kitchen's practicality, is outfitted with an imported Italian pizza oven and adjacent breakfast room with stone fireplace. A romantic first floor primary suite has a fireplace and 2024 ensuite marble bathroom. Guests and family will enjoy the 3 charming additional bedrooms all with ensuite baths. A c.1880s outdoor dining room will house unforgettable dinner parties with its decadent copper accouterments and antique Soho crystal chandelier. After-dinner cordials can be enjoyed on the Brazilian hardwood deck or the tiered bluestone patio with firepit. Antique NYC sconces will create the perfect ambiance. Outdoor recreation will be accommodated by an inground pool, a spring-fed pond with abundant wildlife, and trails throughout the acreage. A large barn building can be used for garaging or animals. When you need modern conveniences you will be surprised to find this Pocono hideaway is under 5 minutes to grocery shopping and restaurants. What more could you want in a country retreat?
