Property Description
The distinguished Howell Cheney Mansion is a rarely available grand estate located on over two sprawling acres in the Cheney Brothers National Historic Landmark District. Surrounded by mature trees this private estate overlooks the Great Lawn, is mere steps from Labyrinth Brewing Company, and only a short walk to Main Street's shopping and dining. This nearly 7,000 square-foot brick Colonial was completed in 1901 and has hosted such distinguished guests as President William Howard Taft and American poet Robert Frost. Nearly every room on all three levels of the mansion features expressive historic details such as handcrafted woodwork, built-ins, original moldings, and wood floors. The home has been fully restored and impeccably maintained, and the owner has done a superb job of maintaining the home's historic details while modernizing the electrical, plumbing, heating, roof, and more. The first floor features a spectacular front-to-back grand foyer, formal living room with a brick fireplace and built-ins, a fully remodeled chef's kitchen with center island, honed granite counters, subway style backsplash, stainless steel appliances including a commercial grade gas oven/range and a large butler's pantry, a formal dining room with a brick fireplace and an incredible built-in hiding a Prohibition-era secret compartment, sitting room, billiards room with a brick fireplace and a dedicated first-floor laundry room.
