Exquisite architectural design has seamlessly married a stately Blue Hill landmark home to a new (2012) more contemporary wing that is truly remarkable. Views from the second story observatory and third story loft look down on Blue Hill Harbor while the 1.2 acres of gorgeously planted grounds reminiscent of Gertrude Jekyll extend to abut large conservation acreage with trails up to Blue Hill Mountain and into the village center. The original part of the home has been immaculately maintained offering a combined total of 4,300 square feet of beautiful and very functional quality living space. The state-of-the-art heat pump system, radiant in-floor heat, and indoor solarium with Olympic-quality exercise pool make this a perfect home for all seasons. First floor bedroom suite, large office, spacious library, five bedrooms, eat-in kitchen as well as formal dining room all provide plenty of private space for multiple activities. The design of the home lends itself to wonderful privacy in each of the two wings for guests or extended family. The third-floor retreat will be loved by children as their own playhouse. Deck off the first-floor includes a fire pit and access to the beautifully planted grounds: 7,000 daffodils of 30 varieties have been allowed to naturalize, 300 perennials and over 100 varied iris surround the lawns. This home has been in the family and loved for several generations. One of the sellers is an acclaimed author of historic mystery fiction. The other is nephew of Sir Edwin Lutyens, architect to the Edwardian Era of England, called upon by the gentry to renovate and update their manor houses and castles. Here is your opportunity to live graciously and become the next stewards of this amazing property.
