Property Description
Anchored by an early stone foundation, the residence reveals hand-laid masonry, original timber framing, and rooms of graceful proportion. These historic elements are balanced by a comprehensive architectural renovation by Ford3 Architects, which brought the home forward with modern systems while honoring its architectural soul. Radiant heat, zoned central air, updated plumbing and electrical, natural gas, city sewer, and a slate roof were seamlessly integrated to support comfortable, year-round living.
The interiors unfold with a sense of permanence and ease. Formal rooms retain their architectural gravitas, while the great room—located in the home's earliest section—is centered around a monumental walk-in fireplace that has anchored gatherings for generations. Six en-suite bedrooms, including two multi-room suites, provide flexibility for family and guests, while maintaining the privacy and flow expected of a refined residence. The expansive kitchen, complete with a walk-in pantry, is scaled for both daily life and relaxed entertaining.
Outside, the grounds feel quietly cinematic. Three historic outbuildings enrich the setting: a relocated 19th-century barn offering versatile utility—whether garaging, recreation, or creative use—alongside an original stone smokehouse and the evocative remains of former stone stables that lend texture and depth to the landscape.
While Glencairn has adapted gracefully to different chapters over its long history, the current offering is for the house and property themselves—a residence of uncommon architectural presence, thoughtfully modernized and deeply personal in scale. Celebrated in major publications and lovingly maintained, Glencairn is best suited to a buyer who values heritage, privacy, and the privilege of stewardship over time. A singular home, ready for its next chapter.
