Property Description
Tucked away on a quiet country lane, this signature property, The Captain William Sterling House, affectionately known as "Sterling Meadow", has been carefully restored and harmoniously expanded using superior materials and craftsmanship with the talent of Housewright, Steven Dunn. This exquisite country estate, sited on a hill overlooking a bucolic meadow which will remain such in perpetuity, is a perfect combination of elegant formal rooms, ideal for gatherings, while at the same time it's appointments, including wide board floors, hand hewn beams and warming fireplaces, make each space comfortable and relaxing. Choose to entertain from a cozy family room, formal dining room, or formal living room, with a Jonathan Islieb designed Chef's kitchen with fireplace and casual dining room tucked into the bay window, overlooking the professionally landscaped grounds, filled with wonderful and varied wildlife. The newly constructed garden room, "The Nest", is simply exquisite, with vaulted ceiling and stone entry way that leads to the pool complex beyond. A completely self-sufficient Carriage Barn, again designed by Islieb, offers three levels of living space, including a dramatic Great Room with vaulted ceiling streaming with natural light from floor to ceiling windows, a second level with guest quarters, and an additional third level, perfect for an in-home gym. This remarkable estate pays tribute to its history while giving a nod to modern amenities...simply stunning!
