Property Description
Nestled on over 5 acres of lush, verdant grounds, this exquisite two-story plantation home, built in 1852, stands as a testament to timeless elegance and historical significance. Spanning an impressive 7,765 square feet, the estate boasts nine spacious bedrooms and eight meticulously appointed bathrooms and four half baths. The grandeur of the home is immediately apparent upon entering, with original wood flooring that whispers tales of the past underfoot. The residence features stunning Greek columns that frame its stately façade, lending an air of classical sophistication. Inside, the eye is drawn to the Italian marble fireplaces, each a masterpiece in its own right, providing both warmth and a focal point of artistry in the generously proportioned rooms. This distinguished home has hosted a trio of luminaries: President Franklin D. Roosevelt, the enigmatic actress Greta Garbo, and the iconic actor Paul Newman, each adding to the rich tapestry of its storied history. Today, it serves as a charming bed and breakfast and a premier events venue, offering guests a blend of historic charm and modern luxury. The expansive grounds provide a serene backdrop for any occasion, from intimate gatherings to grand celebrations, ensuring every event is memorable.
