and long northwesterly marsh vistas. There are 12 bedrooms
(9 with fireplaces), each with their own personality, 17
fireplaces, and an Irish pub with 17th century Roman carved
black slate fireplace. The English Victorian pine front bar
has the original mahogany countertop (circa 1849) from
a tavern in Birmingham, England. The back bar is from
Fritzingers Hotel in Coopersburg, PA (circa 1883). Walk-
in cooler. The Game Room/Parlor has an 1886 Brunswick
“Jewel” pool table and a Rock-ola maple and hardwood
shuffleboard table.
Adding to the authenticity of the home’s appointments,
a 19th century bronze and ormolu French chandelier adorns
the brick-lined wine cellar. A solid European red oak, hand-
forged iron door (circa 1850) leads to the theatre with
rare Italian barrel-vaulted ceiling (circa 17th century). The
family room limestone fireplace (circa 1600-1750) is from
the Chateau Fountain in Sologne, France and belonged
to the family of the wife of former French President
Jacques Chirac.

beautiful love where lasting memories were
made. Let me tell you the “rest of the story.”
