Presenting The James C Walkley Estate, a historic grand Manor ca.1860, superbly remodeled 2022. Nothing compares. The ultimate in country living. From the moment you enter the otherworldly grounds via a sweeping circular drive, you will be awestruck by the depth and breadth of this 9.69 acre property. The stately home that greets you is privately set on a gently rolling tableau worthy of an impressionist painting. From the rear of the property the CT River comes into view. The house is at once impressive and understated. A slate roof is graced by dual chimneys. The columned front entry portico whispers of a time when visitors arrived by carriage. Stepping inside through original double doors find yourself in a 35' entry hall. Ceilings are 13' on the main level and 11' on the second. Fourteen remodeled rooms, five bedrooms, five full plus two half-baths, Chef's kitchen w/Wolf/Subzero/Cove appliances, butler's pantry, office, study, living and family rooms, formal dining room, plus eight marble-surround gas fireplaces combine to create a dream family retreat.
