Description

The Dix House is the home where the colony of New Britain chose to become the City of Ormond in April of 1880. The home was originally constructed in 1876. However, in 2009 a complete renovation and rebuild took place from foundation up, including all plumbing, electrical, exterior and interior walls, roof, etc. The result was a new home with the latest technology, safety and energy efficient features. Nestled on 1.1 acres, this 5,500 square foot estate includes a 2 bedroom carriage house, a dock, 114 feet of river frontage, a boathouse, and a 3.5-car garage. The residence has been luxuriously updated without sacrificing its historic charm. The original staircasees and fireplaces are untouched. The home has a gourmet kitchen and first- and second-floor porches overlooking the river. From the gallery library with built-in bookcases to the three-floor elevator, no detail has been overlooked. The home is listed on the National Registry of Historic Places.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.
