Property Description

As you pass through the gates, pause to take in the magic of Galloway Manor—a historic estate thoughtfully reimagined for modern living. The sophisticated front hall makes an impactful first impression with black-and-white tile floors and views into the gracious dining room and spectacular living room. Original woodwork, hand-hewn beams, and leaded-glass windows have been painstakingly preserved, while white oak floors, black iron doors, and contemporary lighting introduce a fresh modern Tudor aesthetic. Soaring ceilings and oversized millwork enhance the living room’s dramatic scale, while a second-floor Juliet balcony overlooks the space. Designed for memorable entertaining, the spacious dining room features glass doors opening to the covered terrace and an adjacent 500-bottle wine display. The kitchen, breakfast room, and family room encompass the west side of the home, with beautiful views of the terraces, pool, and grounds. Custom cabinetry, glass display shelving, a waterfall-edge island, statement lighting, Dacor appliances, and a Bertazzoni range distinguish the kitchen. The casual breakfast room flows seamlessly into the light-filled family room, where a cathedral ceiling and gas fireplace create an inviting gathering place. A butler’s pantry, built-in coffee bar, generous storage, laundry room, and powder room complete this wing. Stretching along the eastern side of the home, the great room opens directly to the terraces, creating an exceptional connection between the interior and outdoor living spaces. This impressive room includes a fireplace and built-in bar with counter seating and a Sub-Zero wine refrigerator. The main level also offers a flexible room currently used as a playroom, a full bath, and a dedicated tennis room. The main-floor primary suite is a private retreat with a sitting area and an expansive walk-in closet appointed with custom cabinetry, a center island, and quartz countertops. The exceptional primary bath features a soaring ceiling, dual vanities, a makeup area, a walk-through shower, and dual water closets. Upstairs are four generously sized bedrooms with excellent closet space, including one with a charming sleeping porch, along with three full bathrooms and the convenience of a newly added second-floor laundry room. A third-floor playroom provides additional flexible living space. The renovated walkout lower level extends the home’s recreational offerings with a full bar and kitchenette, bathroom, and spacious family room and game room. Direct access to the pool and outdoor living areas makes this level ideal for relaxed gatherings and effortless indoor-outdoor living. The spectacular four-acre grounds offer an array of inviting settings for both intimate gatherings and grand-scale entertaining. The new pool and outdoor living area feature a striking water element, expansive terraces, and a pergola for shaded relaxation. A covered terrace provides the perfect setting for fall football, while the renovated tennis court welcomes novices and competitors alike. A recently constructed six-car garage completes this exceptional property, all surrounded by beautifully landscaped grounds with ample space for play, gardening, and outdoor enjoyment.
