Description
Welcome to Greendale Spring! The original portion of this estate started with a 19th century springhouse & tenant house. For the 1st half of the 20th Century, this property was part of Greendale Farm. The property now offers nearly 6,000 Sq. Ft. of living space. The first thing you notice is the spring-fed pond with a fountain. One passes around the pond to the detached 3-car garage & a large parking area. The current owners significantly expanded the house in 2007 with a beautifully detailed 2-story addition that perfectly integrates into the existing 19th century home. It was designed by McIntyre Capron & Assoc. & constructed by MAF Homes. Its unique features include masonry walls, two sets of Juliet balconies facing the pond, a cozy balcony overlooking the rear yard, unique mock dormers & a custom cupola. The first thing you’ll notice inside is the wide plank, custom milled Pine flooring that extends the entire length of the first floor along with the random width vertical beadboard walls. The powder room, a large walk-in coat closet & a caterer’s kitchen are accessed from the foyer. The kitchen was remodeled in 2016. This space provides an abundance of storage in the custom cabinetry. Picture windows overlook the rear yard & pool. The cabinets are topped with marble counters & a bead board backsplash with a porcelain farmhouse sink. The central island has walnut counters & space for 2 barstools. A peninsula between the kitchen & the dining room can accommodate 3 more barstools. A SubZero fridge/freezer flanks one wall, surrounded by floor to ceiling pantry cabinets. A 36†Wolf gas range has an oversized copper exhaust hood. The dining room has banks of windows & doors along all three walls & a wood burning fireplace. In the original tenant house, a cozy living room with a gas fireplace and a bank of built-in bookshelves & cabinets is the perfect space to relax after a long day. Connected to this room is another cozy den with a wall of built-in cabinetry. The caterer’s kitchen that has a 2nd stove, beverage fridge and sink with more custom inset cabinetry & a large utility closet that has more custom cabinetry, another sink and a broom closet. Just off the foyer, there is a 1st floor bedroom with a walk-in closet. Connected to this bedroom is a full bathroom with a stall shower. Along the front, the hallway takes one past the staircase to the 2nd floor and down to the family room. There are windows on two of the walls and a set of French doors for access to the rear yard.

The laundry room is tucked off the hallway, as is a dedicated home office. There are 3 more guest bedrooms and a hall bathroom. There are two small rooms on the 3rd floor, along with attic space for storage. The entire basement under the 2007 addition is finished as one huge open space. There is ample room down here for a secondary sitting area, gym, game room or anything else you can imagine & includes a second powder room. Surrounding the kitchen & dining room, a spacious brick patio provides ample outdoor entertaining space. There is also a delightful Williamsburg inspired garden shed tucked into the corner.

Climate and Weather
The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
