About the Listing o2998B - 8993

Steeped in history and timeless elegance, this extraordinary circa early 1800s home offers over 7100sf of gracious living on 3+ picturesque acres with lovely views overlooking Glass Lake. Originally known as the Knowlson House - a landmark in the community - this Federal-style farmhouse/manor with Greek Revival influences is a rare offering. With a unique and distinctive history, this remarkable residence showcases stunning original architectural detail, expansive entertaining spaces, and a setting that feels private and inviting. Guests are welcomed through the full-width covered front porch into an impressive entrance foyer introducing the home's scale and character.

The dining room is highlighted by a Swarovski crystal chandelier, and the living and dining rooms feature 9 remarkable hand-painted window panels reminiscent of the Hudson River School. The gourmet kitchen/gathering room with brick fireplace serves as the heart of the home and adjoins a fabulous service kitchen featuring a commercial SS sink and handsome vintage cabinetry. The hot tub room, elevator room, a private bath, and ½ bath complete the 1st level. The 2nd floor offers a large foyer, 8 bedrooms, including 2 suites, an office, a charming skylit garden room with a gorgeous vanity, 5 full baths, a large laundry room, a walk-in storage closet, and a rear staircase. Huge 3rd floor walk-up attic for add'l storage. Hardwood floors extend throughout both levels. Nine fireplaces (non-working but potentially restorable) add further charm.
