    What's special

    This historic 8.5 acre, 8 bed, 7 bath estate, set atop long rolling lawns exemplifies Douglas' finest. Once home to the well-known Schuster family, built in 1939, this home is abundant with period details: 4 fireplaces, antique hardwood floors, detailed moldings, a laundry chute and three master bedrooms which all include a master bath. On top of the well-maintained timeless amenities of this special home, the kitchen has been renovated and includes Subzero, Wolf and Paykel appliances, oversized island, a picturesque eat-in breakfast nook along with 2 updated pantries. The 1st floor is home to a grand living room, library with gas fireplace and custom shelving, and a guest wing. The charm does not end upstairs -the lower level of the home is finished with beautiful hardwood floors, custom built-ins and fireplace. Enjoy the beautiful grounds in the sun room, 3 car detached garage or walk the grounds and visit Hunts Pond, located at the Northeast corner of the property.
