Property Description:

Offered at: $595,000

With its four towering chimneys, shuttered six over six windows, groomed cedar hedges and formal gardens, this stately home has kept all of its original charm and beauty. Built in the neo-classical style circa 1830, with emphasis on the formal arrangement of windows, doors and chimneys, this two and a half story home has not been altered. True to the style, Windrose as it is known, has maintained the beautiful fan light and side lights at its gracious front door. The first floor of the home’s two-storey ell, is a completely private in-law suite with its own entrances.

Let’s enter this beautiful home by walking up the sweeping curve of the front stairs and into an enclosed , heated foyer - large enough to remove winter boots or a wet rain coat. From here you open one of the home’s many heavy wooden original doors and enter to a large, formal inner foyer, designed for greeting guests in style. This is the heart of the home - from here you can move to the large rooms on either side through double French doors - living room on the left and dining room on the right, up the stately wooden stairs or down the hall towards the back of the house to the home’s office/den on one side and the large homey kitchen on the other.

The large six over six windows make every room in this home flush with light; this along with a second set of double French doors in a conservatory on the side of the home, makes the living room especially bright. The paneled ceiling, hardwood floors and the intricately carved mantel of the wood-burning fireplace all add charm to this beautiful room. The den/home office can also be accessed from the living room as well as the back hall. This room too, has its own wood-burning fireplace as well as built in floor to ceiling book cases and offers a lovely view of the back patio/deck and gardens.

The large formal dining room is also graced with a wood-burning fire-place, decorated with its own beautifully carved mantle. The room still maintains the original chandelier and matching wall sconces. A swinging door allows easy access to the spacious kitchen, large enough for its own eating space. There are an abundance of pine cupboards on three walls. Leading from the kitchen are the “back” stairs to what was once the servants quarters on the second floor. These three bedrooms, two large storage closets and full bath, can also be accessed by using the front stairs. These rooms are located in the ell of the house, over the in-law suite.

The ell was mostly likely added at the turn of the last century and was built in the shingled style; having the distinctive gambrel roof. The in-law suite in the lower level of the ell, shares one entrance (a side entrance which also give access to the kitchen) with the main house and has two separate entrances of its own - one which leads to the back gardens and the other opening directly to the drive way. The in-law suite consists of a full bath, small kitchen, coat closet, large living/dining room, and bedroom with closet. The back entrance, before going into the in-law suite, has a washer/dryer hook-up and many storage cupboards. There is also a large room with storage lockers.

Coming back to the main entry hall, we can climb the wide stairwell to the four large bedrooms on the second floor in the main part of the house; all four of which has its own wood-burning fireplace and ample closet space. They are serviced by two full baths. The third level has another two bedrooms and a full bath with soaker tub.

Windrose is located close to shops and restaurants on a lot which is more than double the size of a traditional town lot (200' plus X 160'). The grounds have been lovingly tended over the years as is evidenced by the mature privacy hedge, number of perennial gardens, fruit trees, flowering shrubs and formal garden.
