Residenza Unifamiliare A Durham

The Stunning Samuel Fairchild House 1727c. in beautiful Durham is the epitome of 18th century architecture. Restored to perfection by The 18th Century Company, no expense was spared in its meticulous restoration. Every detail of its original features has been preserved ... elegant raised paneling, lots of feather edge board, chamfered summer beam with lamb’s tongue stops for all the purists, wide board floors, original doors, hinges & latches, original front staircase, double front door & five fireplaces (2 with bake ovens)!!! The present owner built a cage bar (with wine cooler) in the old kitchen with period wood from the property. Saltbox in design with a gorgeous Gambrel Ell, this is the house you have been dreaming about. Now for the 21st Century features: The new kitchen is situated in the ell and it is magnificent. A half bath/laundry is in the Ell as well. A fabulous fireplace graces this room. The second floor is very large with 4 bedrooms (1 with fireplace) and 2 full baths. This is a substantial home. Now to the magical grounds. You have 3.54 acres of beauty. A peaceful pond, the waterfall with little bridge, the vegetable gardens, the split rail fence & stone walls are all pristine. The 2 fabulous barns & elevated chicken coop for ”All the Single Ladies” are picture perfect. As you step out your door you are surrounded by peace and beauty. It is a rare find indeed to find a home of this caliber in such a wonderful setting. ***** The kitchen was restored by The Glastonbury Restoration Company. Care was taken to ensure the integrity of the ell to preserve & enhance the beauty. A wonderful farm sink, gas stove, high end appliances and custom cabinetry were all carefully chosen. Multiple seating areas add to the 18th century feel of this stunning room.
