COBHAM PARK

 

Crafted by the English master carpenter E. S. McSparren, the home boasts remarkable features, including a captivating flying spiral staircase and resplendent woodwork. Throughout the 20th century, Cobham Park was cherished as a country retreat by the esteemed G. Freeland Peter Family, who were also owners of Tudor Place in Washington, D.C. The estate’s allure extends beyond the manor house, with enchanting formal gardens designed by the renowned Olmsted Brothers Landscape Architects. In recent years, meticulous restorations have been undertaken to preserve the gardens’ hardscapes and introduce less labor-intensive plantings, while still maintaining the spirit and beauty of the original design.

​

Today, this extraordinary estate offers a world of refined living. The meticulous preservation effort has safeguarded much of its original finishes, harmoniously blending them with modern updates. All electrical, plumbing, heating, and air conditioning systems have been thoughtfully upgraded and integrated. Along the way, marvelous surprises awaited, such as the unearthing of the original cooking fireplace in the basement and the revelation of pristine pine boards beneath the narrow-plank floorboards.

Amidst the captivating features of Cobham Park, there is ample room for family and friends to create cherished memories together. The owner’s suite is a serene sanctuary complete with a fireplace, a luxurious bathroom, and a spacious walk-in closet. Two ensuite bedrooms on the second floor offer refined comfort, while the third floor provides two more generous bedrooms, a full bath, and a cozy sitting area.

The kitchen is a culinary masterpiece, featuring a custom Officine Gullo stove, Sub-Zero appliances, Miele steam oven and dishwasher, and exquisite Calcutta Gold Marble countertops. Its elegance and functionality make it a chef’s dream.

The basement unveils The Pub, where history blends seamlessly with modern amenities. The space preserves the original cooking fireplace and offers a fully equipped bar, den, mudroom, full bathroom, laundry room, and storage area.

Outside, the estate boasts a heated saltwater pool with an automatic cover, surrounded by a picturesque setting perfect for relaxation. The all-brick pool house has been thoughtfully renovated, providing a bathroom/laundry room, recreational area, kitchenette, outdoor shower, and more.

Adjacent to the primary residence, the Conservatory is a versatile space that can be used as an office, guest cottage, or Au Pair residence. Its stylish design features a bedroom, a modern kitchen, and multiple bathrooms across different levels. Each level boasts its own exterior entrance, ensuring privacy and convenience.
