Every feature you could want in a country home
Imbued with today’s amenities, a fine balance has been struck between past & present. The home preserves the historic elegance of a center colonial, while delivering “new construction elements” to provide a living experience in a high quality home exceeding many of the current building standards.
Legacy aspects include original staircases, paneled fireplace w/beehive oven, wide board floors, original hardware, reconstructed 3 story barn, and carriage house as a 4 car garage. Enjoy the unique 18th-19th century character of this estate…relax in the fireplaced front to back living room, make innovative use of the oversized 3rd level multi-function space, & dine under the restored chandelier of the “MFA quality/American Wing” fire-placed dining room. 55 Flagg has a charming country kitchen with updated appliances, openly connected to both the sun drenched french door conservatory and the family-entertainment room. Watch your favorite entertainment in the fire-placed family room, or work in the adjoining cathedral ceiling down stairs office. In the morning, open the walk-thru windows onto the primary suite terrace with complete property views of the grecian pool w/hot tub, French door enclosed skylighted pavilion, and gardens. The upstairs primary suite offers a cathedral ceiling master, vintage appointed double sink, bath/stand-up glass enclosed shower and jacuzzi. It also features a front to back his and her dressing room and an adjoining drawing room. The brick section provides 3 sunny fire-placed bedrooms, a full and half bath, and a full sized laundry room with fireplace. The 3 story barn includes an insulated room which can be turned into another workshop, exercise space, storage room, or business shop.
