Description

This exceptional residence, one of Sharon's most historic properties, occupies much of the original 1812 Georgian mansion, home to a notable family, including William F. Buckley, Jr., for over a century. The layout is spacious & flexible, offering multiple options for purchase: 1) purchase in its current layout as a spacious, 6-bedroom residence, 2) divide the current 6-bedroom residence into two spacious 3-bedroom residences, 3) additionally acquire the north wing to recreate a more complete version of the original mansion for use as an expansive single-family residence, a family compound, or separate residences for rental income. The current 6, 716 sq ft home has been thoughtfully restored & offers 6 bedrooms with primary suites on both levels, 7 full baths, and 2 powder rooms. The kitchen opens to a stunning library & informal dining area, complemented by formal living & dining rooms, a family room, office, gym, den, laundry room and 7 fireplaces. At the center of the home, a dramatic three-story 1250 sq foot glass atrium (the 1, 250 sq ft is not included in the 6, 716 sq ft) - enclosing the 1929 courtyard - creates a year-round living space that brings light & openness into the core of the home. This is estate living with the ease of a managed community. Enjoy beautifully maintained grounds with specimen trees & beautiful plantings. Amenities include: junior Olympic-sized heated pool, pool house, tennis court & separate paddle/pickle courts and more. More info below., A defining layer of the home's character comes from early 20th-century additions, including historic hand-crafted tiles, lighting, and other architectural elements and materials rescued in 1929 from post-revolutionary Mexico. These details are fully integrated into the interiors, adding depth and sophistication, without detracting from the home's original design and character. The result is a home that balances scale, history, and livability to a degree increasingly difficult to replicate. The interiors reflect a comprehensive renovation in 2013 that preserved original character, including 3 distinctive original Art Deco bathrooms, while addressing structural, mechanical, and aesthetic elements. Period details, fireplaces, and proportioned rooms are complemented by more tailored updates and curated finishes throughout. A detailed list of upgrades is available upon request. Walk to Sharon village for dining, amenities, 4 churches, and the Sharon hospital; convenient to Hotchkiss, Salisbury, Kent, & Millbrook Schools and nearby golf, tennis, shooting clubs and Lime Rock Raceway. Residence comes with 2 garage spaces, 2 carport spaces and outside parking spaces as well. Two hours from NYC, and 10 minutes to Metro North trains to Grand Central Terminal. Great Elm is a rare opportunity to live in & steward a property of enduring architectural & historical significance without the burden of maintaining the amenities and grounds. All you have to do is come and enjoy turnkey living.
