The "Castle on Ridge" - A rare opportunity to buy this Magnificent and Iconic mansion for the first time in nearly 50 years. De-signed by noted architect Stephen A. Jennings, this house is beautifully positioned on nearly an Acre with a full Coach house, expansive yards, and a 4 car garage. The Grand Entry welcomes you to this 18 room residence with 11 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms, 3 staircases, updated custom kitchen with sitting room, formal dining room, huge family room and a third floor Ballroom! The house boasts large windows, detailed millwork, and high ceilings with natural light flooding the home. A spectacular staircase three stories high soars above original Stained Glass Windows and a Pipe Organ fa-cade! This Grand and Lofty staircase is the focal point of the house. With over 8,600 square feet of living space this home provides endless possibilities and flexibility! A rented 2nd floor two bedroom apartment in the Coach house is a great income bonus.
