The majestic 7 ½-acre Philip Cheney Mansion Estate is more than a luxury property: it is a story, a moment of splendor frozen in time. It represents a dream carried from the Gilded Age to the spectacle of the 21st century. A National Historic Landmark the Mansion was designed in the Jacobean style by Stanford White; then reconstructed in 1928 by “American Renaissance” designer Charles Adam Platt. This was not a restoration; it was a preservation maintaining every original detail of the estate while painstaking integrating today's modern luxuries. The wall coverings are original Zuber of the Italian countryside. The spectacular ceiling panels once graced a palace in Vienna. The 9 original fireplaces were imported from around the world. Custom mouldings and woodworking were hand-carved from the world's foremost craftsman. With 13 years of effort from preservation architect Jared Edwards, the Cheney Mansion Estate was returned to its original historic charm.
