Property Description

Welcome to Durham House, a timeless masterpiece dating back to 1820. Surrounded by sweeping lawns, peony beds, and mature trees, this unparalleled estate has been meticulously preserved and celebrated in every detail throughout. Steeped in heritage and exquisitely renovated, this estate seamlessly melds the past with the present.

Two houses on the estate collectively spanning approximately 10,000 square feet. The grand main residence offers four generously appointed bedrooms, each with its own design theme and ample closet space. The chef’s kitchen, a haven for culinary enthusiasts, boasts top-of-the-line appliances and a spacious island, ideal for hosting large gatherings and parties.

The stately principal rooms are adorned with period-piece furniture and rich in history. An updated sunroom offers a four-season sanctuary, perfect for family meals, a breezy summer retreat, or a cozy winter reading nook, thanks to its in-floor heating.

Every inch of this home features meticulously curated design elements that pay homage to its storied past. Step outside to sweeping lawns descending to a 7-acre pond shared only with the Batterwood Estate, once owned by Vincent Massey.

Embrace outdoor living with an oversized pool, offering refreshing swims and endless summer fun for a large crowd. Discover a reclaimed barn, transformed into separate living quarters, where spacious interiors bathed in sunlight offer a beautiful retreat. The barn currently serves as a rental space, offsetting the majority of the maintenance costs of the entire estate.

Once owned by generations of the Massey family, this property is more than a home; it’s a sanctuary of timeless elegance, where history intertwines with modern luxury to create an unparalleled living experience.
