A Once-in-a-Generation Opportunity: 1765 Heritage Meets Modern Luxury Rarely does a property of this caliber, history, and scale become available within Winchester city limits. Perfectly positioned on 5.49 acres of breathtaking, park-like grounds, this historic masterpiece is a true private oasis. Painstakingly and lovingly renovated, the estate offers an unparalleled blend of 18th-century charm and contemporary convenience across 8,593 finished square feet, featuring 6 bedrooms, 5 full baths, and 2 half baths. The heart of the residence is the original 1765 portion, which stands as a museum-quality testament to early American craftsmanship. It showcases meticulously preserved original flooring, windows, doors, period hardware, stately mantles, and staircase. As the estate evolved, a first major addition was seamlessly introduced in 1940, followed by a second grand addition in 2000. True to the property's legacy of excellence, the 1940 wing underwent a major, high-end renovation in 2019 to ensure flawless modern style. Yet, behind the historic craftsmanship lies a completely modernized infrastructure: the entire home boasts fully updated plumbing, electrical, and central heating and A/C. Step outside to find your own secluded sanctuary, complete with a natural spring and a picturesque pond. This is a living piece of art, offering the perfect synergy of historical beauty, absolute privacy, and contemporary convenience. For additional information, full ownership history starting in 1735 and comprehensive renovation highlights please view the accompanying documents. Schedule your private tour to experience this once-in-a-lifetime legacy property.
