Walk into this signature 18th century manor house and you’ll truly feel like you’ve been transported to another era. Wonderfully maintained and updated throughout, this stately residence sits on more than eight acres of pristine pastoral land and takes its place among the most historically romantic residences in Talbot County.
A vibe of home and hearth quickly envelopes visitors to the three-bedroom, three-bath manor located just moments from downtown Easton. Talk about charm—from its five fireplaces, to its quaint sitting porches, and separate cozy guest quarters, this home is all about atmosphere.
Period details greet guests as they enter the foyer of the original main house with its two-tone staircase, dark hardwood floors, and weathered beam treatment. To the left, one enters a spacious formal living room with its Federal-style fireplace painted white to juxtapose the continuing dark hardwoods. Across the hall, a formal dining room also boasts a wood-burning fireplace with brick insert. Generous natural light from casement windows with grill inserts enhance the room’s colonial ambiance.
An amazing all-white country kitchen with contrasting black hardware, dark ceiling beams, and a white-bricked working hearth is a dream come true for lovers of the farmhouse aesthetic. Every modern amenity and appliance have been added but do not detract from this room’s homage to colonial living. The room is large enough for informal dining and sports rustic beams overhead.
A roomy primary suite is located on the home’s second level and is highlighted with yet another working fireplace. The charming primary bathroom features a nostalgic claw foot tub and white porcelain fixtures. An additional bedroom large enough for two twin beds comes equipped with a rustic fireplace, and a light and bright office space is available just off the second floor landing.
Another prime feature of this property is its expansive 100-year-old barn, which has been well maintained and updated for use as a gathering and entertainment facility. Whether its new owners are hosting a wedding, a good old-fashioned hoedown, or a simple family occasion, this great space will create memories for generations to come.
