The masterpiece 67-acre estate of Limestone Farm features a stately federal style manor house(circa 1839) which has been meticulously renovated, impeccably modernized and significantly expanded. The exquisite quality of this 11,160 sq. ft. home is evident from the exterior as well as its interior featuring incredible proportions. From the structure and the mechanical systems to the fine finishes, this was a full renovation with extraordinary attention to detail. The grand scale of the house is visible throughout and features a stunning William Ohs Kitchen and Waterworks fixtures and tiles throughout. The home is further enhanced by the exquisite interior design of Ralph Lauren including wallcoverings, and window treatments. The house features a Geothermal heating and cooling system creating a comfortable and energy efficient environment year-round. On each side of the home and across the back there is a wide covered porch or terrace for one to enjoy the beautiful and very private countryside.
A guest house sits close to the main home and features a living/bedroom combination, a bathroom and a kitchenette. The 8-stall barn was originally a bank barn, which was redesigned and restored. A section of Opequon Creek, a tributary of the Potomac River, runs through this property at the outer edges.
The home exterior is of native limestone, handmade oversized brick, and the roof is of extra premium cedar shake imported from Canada. On the ceiling of the front porch is the crest of the family who built the original manor house. As one enters the foyer, one admires the beautifully refinished mahogany newel post, handrail, floor and staircasing in its original detail but fully restored. French doors and large windows throughout provide sunshine and natural light not seen in most homes. The William Ohs kitchen contains a large Wolf stovetop/griddle with a double oven, Miele In-wall convection oven, separate in-wall Miele steamer, and Sub Zero side by side freezer and refrigerator. This kitchen is a chef's dream with gorgeous cabinetry, carrara marble countertops, Waterworks plumbing fixtures, marble backsplash, large William Ohs island, gourmet appliances, large pantry and extensive storage space. The large breakfast area opens out to a charming brick terrace with pergola. A gracious hallway separates the kitchen from the great room and creates a wonderful flow throughout the home.
