Property Description
On a quiet country byway, on over 90 magical acres sits a charming antique home. Special in its intriguing provenance. Home for decades to Arthur Davison Ficke [1883-1945], a well known and recently republished author. More interesting, perhaps, was Ficke's long relationship with Edna St. Vincent Millay [1892-1950] whose own home, Steepletop, is a short distance away. Located in an area of other large parceled exceptional homes. The main house has classically shaped rooms, beautiflul wide board floors and period moldings. A spacious first floor potential master bedroom overlooks the large, brook-fed, pool and majestic pines. Windows run the full length of the gathering room, sharing the tranquil setting. Well proportioned living and dining rooms. Upstairs, 4 bedrooms, 3 with en suite baths, and one with a fireplace; an office and sleeping porch. A guest house nearby but out of sight, and a classic garage/barn complete the picture. Come see; you won't be disappointed.
