HouseKillingworth (United States)

The EXTRAORDINARY GREAT ROOM with its massive stone fireplace, antique wooden timbers and 30' high ceiling is but one of many WOWS this property offers. Located in the estate section of bucolic Killingworth, overlooking 6+ acres of irrigated gardens and fields with an additional 5 acres left in its natural state, the historic c. 1756 estate known as the Elisha Crane house, has been completely and elegantly modernized by a team including the esteemed housewright H. Skip Broom, landscape architect Christoper Thorp and interior designer Richard Keith Langham, one of Architectural Digest's top 100 designers. The rooms that follow are equally impressive. The pine paneled living room has a woodburning fireplace as does the adjoining intimate keeping room. Adjacent is the dining room with a hand painted mural, a glorious eat-in kitchen and butler's pantry. Also on the first level is the primary bedroom with ensuite bath, two walk-in closets including a washer/dryer. Upstairs are three attractive, comfortably sized bedrooms and two full baths with a wonderful 4 bed bunk room on the lower level. Nearby is a redone barn made into an entertainment center. There's also space to garage two cars. Ample room for a swimming pool and additional outbuildings. Conveniently located 2 hours from NYC & Boston. See the list of improvements.
