"New World" antiquity and charm are tastefully combined w/modern day living features and amenities abound throughout this extensively renovated historic landmark home nestled on 1.48 ac overlooking Grover's Pond and Mill. Originally built in 1690 and later named "Ladyfair", it was host to Marquis de Lafayette, Aaron Burr, Robert Morris and in later years, Pres. Grover Cleveland.
