The masterpiece 67-acre estate of Limestone Farm features a stately manor house (circa 1839) which has been meticulously renovated, modernized and significantly expanded. From the structure and the mechanical systems to the fine finishes, this was a full renovation with extraordinary attention to detail. The 11,160 sq. ft. house, evident on the exterior as well as its interior, is a classically proportioned federal style manor. The grand scale of the rooms are pleasing by design - consider the stunning William Ohs Kitchen, or the exquisite Ralph Lauren wallcoverings, window treatments, fabrics and furnishings throughout. The house features a Geothermal heating and cooling system creating a comfortable and energy efficient environment year-round. On each side of the home and across the back there is a wide covered porch or terrace for one to enjoy the beautiful and very private countryside. The home exterior is of native limestone, handmade oversized brick, and the roof is of extra premium cedar shake imported from Canada. On the ceiling of the front porch is the crest of the family who built the original manor house.

 

As one enters the foyer, one admires the beautifully refinished mahogany newel post, handrail, floor and staircasing in its original detail but fully restored. French doors and large windows throughout provide sunshine and natural light. The luxury kitchen designed by William Ohs features a Wolf stovetop/griddle with a double oven, Miele convection oven and separate Miele steamer, and a Sub Zero side by side freezer/refrigerator. This kitchen is truly a chef's dream with stylish cabinetry, carrara marble countertops, Waterworks plumbing fixtures, marble backsplash, large William Ohs island, gourmet appliances, large pantry and storage space that exceeds expectations. The large breakfast area opens out to a charming brick terrace with pergola. A gracious hallway separates the kitchen from the great room and creates a wonderful flow throughout the home.

 

A guest house sits close to the main home and features a living/bedroom combination, a bathroom and a kitchenette. The 8-stall barn was originally a bank barn, which was redesigned and restored. A section of Opequon Creek, a tributary of the Potomac River, runs through this property at the outer edges.
