About this home
Stately Georgian Manor with Vanderbilt Heritage – Timeless Elegance at Buttonball Hill
Originally built in 1929 for Vanderbilt heir Aldred Coster Schermerhorn, this magnificent Georgian Manor exudes timeless sophistication and historic charm. Nestled within beautifully landscaped gardens, the estate’s classic red brick and clapboard facade is crowned by a slate roof, with black shutters adorning its stately windows.
Inside, a grand double-height foyer with hand-carved moldings and a gracefully curved staircase sets a tone of refined elegance. Period details abound throughout the home, showcased in expansive principal rooms with soaring ceilings and an effortless, flowing layout ideal for entertaining and everyday living.
The formal living room, anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, opens via French doors into a sun-drenched solarium—perfect for morning coffee or peaceful afternoon reading. A second set of French doors in the cozy den leads directly to the manicured gardens, while the adjacent library, wrapped in gleaming chestnut paneling, offers a warm retreat with its own fireplace. The formal dining room is a study in craftsmanship, featuring exquisite millwork and a striking fireplace mantle. The chef’s kitchen offers both functionality and style, complete with a charming informal dining area overlooking the gardens.
Upstairs, the primary suite is a private sanctuary, boasting a serene sitting room, two luxurious ensuite baths, generous closet space, and a fireplace flanked by French doors that open to a private balcony with sweeping views.
Outside, resort-style amenities await: a heated swimming pool, Har-Tru tennis court, and extensive gardens designed for both beauty and seclusion. A three-bay attached garage provides ample space and convenience. Buttonball Hill is a rare offering—an impeccably maintained estate where historic grace meets modern comfort, ideal for today’s discerning buyer seeking space, privacy, and a home built for elegant living and memorable entertaining. Nestled in a prime location, this property offers unbeatable convenience—just moments from top-rated schools, vibrant town amenities, and easy access to the train for effortless commuting.
