This historic home on 1.3 acres was a weekend retreat for the Atlantic Steel Company in the early twentieth century. Affectionally called “The Card House” due to the club cutouts on the walls, the original Lodge has been lovingly cared for and renovated over the years to make it a special family home and an entertainer’s dream. This charming home is nestled in the trees giving you the feel of being in the mountains. The recently added over sized screen porch with vaulted ceilings and outdoor kitchen invites you to put your feet up and enjoy a roaring fire in the expansive stone fireplace. There are four bedrooms each with en-suite baths and large closets. The spacious Primary Bedroom has vaulted ceilings a beautiful view of the pool. The Primary Bathroom has two large walk-in closets, separate vanities, a soaking tub and a separate shower. The Terrace Level Bedroom is currently being used as a media room, but it would make a wonderful private teen suite or guest suite. There is a private, spacious office with a cozy den with a dual sided fireplace off the Original Lodge. The timeless kitchen with white marble counter tops, professional cook top, ice maker, double ovens, and Thermador refrigerator has a pass-through window to the porch for easy entertaining and opens to an adjacent breakfast room and sitting room with a built in bar and fireplace. The downstairs Pool Room has a mini kitchen/ wet bar and a rocking chair porch that overlooks the lovely heated pool. There is a large wine cellar off the oversized two car garage as well excess storage under the house. The firepit patio sits off the family room in the back of the house under a canopy of trees offering a quiet escape. There is a large fenced back yard behind the pool. An old well house on the property offers many options such as converting it into a play house, a studio, or a garden shed. Additional features include a generator, wired internet network, landscape lighting, sprinkler system and security system. This beautiful property, located close to Jackson Elementary School and area private schools, sits on the corner Mt. Paran Rd and Summer Lane and can be accessed by both. The mailbox is located on Summer Lane. The driveway offers ample parking and the adjacent Summer Lane offers convenient overflow parking for guests.
