Property Description

Laurelrock was built by a branch of the Roosevelt family as a country retreat in 1932. After an extensive renovation and expansion in 2010, Laurelrock today exudes a casual and contemporary elegance that is enhanced by its delightful assurance of historic authenticity. The residence sits high up on a hill, beyond a running creek, at the end of a long, circular driveway of 500 feet, amidst parklike grounds with stately old specimen trees including red and white oak, sugar maple, beech, hickory and cedar. The property is surrounded by deep borders of woodland that offer privacy and protection. The main house is constructed of native granite with masonry walls measuring up to eighteen inches in thickness. A large, modern kitchen, a sun-filled conservatory, a library, a new master suite and updated systems were added in 2010. Great care was taken to maintain the historic character and workmanship of the pre-war architecture. The new addition was built with masonry walls, slate and copper roofs, copper gutters and mahogany doors that maintain the beauty and integrity of the original design. There is a separate carriage house/garage with a studio apartment that could also be used as a guest suite or expansive home office. The current owners have raised their family in this private and serene sanctuary and are now ready to pass it on.
