Presenting 'The Castle House,' offered for the first time since the early 1960's. Originally built in 1931 by a family who wanted to replicate a castle that they stayed at in Normandy, France, this 3 bedroom, 3 full and 1 half bath home is a rare piece of artwork. The architectural details are exquisite and the structure is strong enough to withstand a long battle. One would describe this house as impressive, intriguing, romantic, charming, and magically ornate. The finer details include: Curved stone walls, drawbridge-like walkway over the moat to the front door, beautiful arched walls, spiral staircases, decorative hammered iron railings and door hardware, handcrafted garden stone walls and gorgeous gazebo garden with fish pond, slate patios, walkways and steps, French doors that open to Juliet balconies, and gorgeous wide plank wood floors. From the lower side door as you climb the tower stairs you will reach the first level where you will find your dining room with built-in closet and shelves, French doors allowing plenty of sunlight and fresh air as well as access to your gazebo and patio for entertaining. Also on this level is your kitchen, sitting room and a full bath. The next level has the grand living room with custom wood paneling, built in custom shelving, fireplace, half bath and the main entrance door to your lovely gardens. The next two upper levels consist of 3 bedrooms and 2 more full baths. The master bedroom at the top of the castle has a very impressive high vaulted ceiling. Attached 2-car oversized garage, multiple tiered gardens that are easy to maintain, serene setting surrounded by mature vegetation, cobblestone driveway, and true craftsmanship that is hard to find.
