Realtor's notes: Welcome to one of the most stunning and sophisticated homes in all of Hardin County. Nestled just minutes from town yet offering complete privacy, this iconic Federal-style estate has been featured in design magazines and showcases unmatched craftsmanship and timeless elegance. With five bedrooms and five and a half bathrooms, every inch of this home reflects luxury and intentional design. The exterior boasts Flemish bond brickwork with hand-glazed headers by a local artist and color-accented brick framing the windows and doors. Step through the grand entryway onto two tons of rare blue English limestone—sourced from the same quarry as Westminster Abbey—and take in the Zuber hand-stamped watercolor wall panels, made in Paris using original 1810 woodblocks. A salvaged 1800s staircase adds rich character, while lighting throughout has been curated from custom artisans in California. Designed by renowned architect Edwin Krebbs, the home features a gas fireplace in the living room (convertible to wood burning), a walnut-finished study, and updated kitchen and bathrooms with luxury Mouser cabinetry. Plantation shutters throughout offer timeless style, enhanced privacy, and excellent light control. The massive primary suite is a private retreat with arched hallways leading to two spa-like bathrooms—each with cedar-lined walk-in closets. One features a walk-in shower, while the other boasts a jetted soaking tub with shower. Upstairs, a spacious bedroom with a full bath opens to a private balcony overlooking the saltwater pool. On the main level, two large bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, plus a walk-in pantry and large laundry room. The finished walkout basement includes a cozy family room, a large additional bedroom with a private bath, and a storm shelter for year-round peace of mind. Outdoors, enjoy the expansive covered back porch while taking in the beauty of the 3-acre property. A peaceful stream winds through the rear of the lot, where a stone patio provides a secluded retreat. You’ll also find a fire pit area nestled in a grove of trees with a hammock for lazy afternoons. The saltwater pool features a gas heater and sand filter for effortless enjoyment. Additional amenities include a 3-car garage, dual-fuel HVAC, a Rinnai tankless water heater, water softener, and solid hardwood doors throughout. From top to bottom, this home is a rare work of art—blending historic charm, architectural significance, and luxury in one unforgettable setting
