Description

Step into a piece of timeless elegance with the Rountree House—an iconic Greek Revival estate dating back to 1854, beautifully restored and ready for its next chapter. One of the first all-brick homes in the region and steeped in history, this historic gem offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of local heritage that seamlessly marries classic grandeur with thoughtful modern updates.

From the moment you enter the grand foyer, you’re greeted with soaring ceilings, a sweeping open staircase, and exquisite original details like Della Robbia plaster medallions and ornate crown molding. The formal living and dining rooms radiate sophistication, each warmed by one of four fully operational fireplaces. You’ll be awed at the hand carved woodwork throughout.

With six spacious bedrooms and three full baths, and over 4700 sq ft of living space, there’s room to grow, host, and enjoy. The reimagined primary suite—formerly the maid’s quarters—is a private retreat with its own staircase, sitting room, walk-in closet, and spa-like bath. The gourmet kitchen shines with new appliances, while updates throughout—including new utilities, fresh paint, restored hardwood floors, removal of all knob and tube wiring and new water main lateral from the street—ensure modern comfort and less worry about future repairs, within historic walls.

Begin your day on the beautiful two-story east-facing porches, the perfect spot to soak in the morning light. Relax in the inviting southern-facing sunroom, complete with heated floors for year-round comfort, or unwind in the private central courtyard surrounded by historic charm. Whether you’re enjoying a quiet moment or entertaining guests, these thoughtfully designed outdoor and indoor spaces offer a seamless blend of elegance and tranquility. Every corner of this property invites you to slow down, breathe deep, and truly feel at home in a setting that honors its rich past while embracing modern comfort.

With a new roof on the way, fresh tuckpointing, and recently done exterior trim and porch paint, the curb appeal is as striking as the interior charm. This property also features a one-car attached and two-car detached garage, multiple heating and AC zones, and endless character throughout.
