Hopedale Home for Sale - MLS #73572810

Introducing The Ledges, an extraordinary historic estate set on nearly 18 acres of magnificent private grounds. Situated on the former estate grounds of Governor Eben Draper and associated with the distinguished Draper family, this remarkable stone-and-brick residence offers a rare combination of architectural significance, grand-scale living and modern comfort. Period craftsmanship is evident throughout, with imported English oak, flagstone, coffered ceilings, leaded glass windows, multiple fireplaces, a dramatic Great Hall and banquet-sized dining room. Extensive restoration and modernization have thoughtfully preserved the home's character while introducing updated central air, heating, electrical and plumbing systems, beautifully renovated marble and tile baths, and an updated kitchen with an oversized center island, dining and sitting areas, Wolf range, Sub-Zero refrigeration and Fisher & Paykel dishwasher drawers. Beyond the residence, sweeping lawns and formal gardens originally designed by landscape architect Warren Manning create an exceptional setting for an inground pool, tennis court, gazebo and pond. Rich in history yet designed to be enjoyed today, The Ledges is an offering of remarkable beauty, privacy and presence.
