Graceful French Manor With Old World Style

From: @properties and Luxury Portfolio

You could be forgiven for doing a double-take upon arrival at this sprawling mansion. Perched on 2 acres of lush landscaping, this stunning brick structure boasts seventeen shuttered windows, a Juliet balcony, a sculpted pediment and bluestone shingles. Wreathed in ivy and framed by mature trees at the end of a circular driveway, it feels like a European retreat for landed gentry.
