About this home
Artful, grand, and steeped in history, this extraordinary Rome estate spans 3 lush acres and offers a rare blend of timeless elegance and pastoral charm. Behind the gardens and mature trees, you’ll find two residences, a stable, a 4+ car garage, a pond, and multiple patios designed for quiet moments and grand entertaining alike. Once known as Station 13 on the Underground Railroad, the main residence dates to 1850 and brims with original character—tin ceilings, intricate millwork, and elegant architectural details throughout. Gracious living spaces have been lovingly preserved and restored. At the front of the home, a parlor and formal living room frame the central hallway, while at the rear, the showstopping great room delights with sculpted woodwork, arched windows, and rows of French doors that open to a genteel veranda. The kitchen is a true centerpiece, where vaulted ceilings and a professional-grade LaCanche range meet glowing granite countertops and a custom coffee bar. An elevator discreetly serves both floors, offering convenient access to the upstairs bedroom suites. Beyond the main home, the original barn has been converted into a guest residence—a hidden gem ready to be restored into a charming Airbnb or private cottage. A glass-lined atrium, antique fixtures, and a Juliet balcony hint at its unique character and promise. Outside, the estate’s grounds whisper of a storied past, waiting to be revived. A stable with three small stalls, a fenced pasture, and open acreage offer endless possibilities—whether for equestrian pursuits, hobby farming, or peaceful country living. Opportunities like this are rare. Come explore the magic, history, and potential of this one-of-a-kind estate—and imagine what your next chapter could be.
