THE OUTBUILDINGS: Four meticulously renovated outbuildings include a potting shed, a garden ice house, a well house, and a carriage guest house with a loft bedroom, full bath, fireplace, and pool views. THE POOL HOUSE: Located on the site of an old tennis court, the pool house blends seamlessly with the estate’s architecture. Features include a 24' x 44' heated pool with a retractable cover, a Jacuzzi, a brick fire pit, and built-in lighting.
