Come home to your breathtaking Blue Bell oasis with verdant grounds and impeccable gardens highlighted by a tranquil one-acre pond with a dock and fountain! First time offered in twenty one years, the Barn at Walmere is a renovated stone Bank Barn with contemporary flair. It was transformed in 1985 into a sophisticated residence with an exquisite landscape including, lush gardens, arbor covered walking path, and a stable for those who dream of having their horse and equestrian needs at home. Located on a 5.89 acre estate, the barn, built in 1801, was expanded in 1990 with the conversion of the original silo into four floors of additional living space with dramatic views of the natural woodlands.
The sensitive restoration has preserved interior stone walls, silo, and exposed wooden beams which all characterize the open-living concept of this unique estate. The sunlit dining area overlooks the woods and leads to a contemporary and spotless kitchen which includes a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Thermador double convection ovens, two sink locations, spacious storage, and counters. From the kitchen, enter the main level of the preserved silo through French doors to the Family Room and enjoy a spectacular view of the gardens. A spiral staircase within the silo will take you to an exercise room, a full bath, and a loft to complete the four unique floors.
