Property Description

Some houses are designed to blend in. Roseholme never has. Built in 1923, this iconic residence has been turning heads in Hanover for more than a century. With 5,100 sq ft across 3 curated levels, 6 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, a detached garage, and an extraordinary backyard built for entertaining, this is a home with scale, personality, and craftsmanship that simply cannot be recreated today. Inside, every room tells a story. Original hardwood floors, rich wood trim, coffered and tin ceilings, wainscoting, pocket doors, bay windows, custom millwork, built-in cabinetry, and 4 gas fireplaces give the home an unmistakable sense of warmth and permanence. The kitchen is equally impressive, with 2 oversized islands, extensive custom cabinetry, a professional appliance package, dual dishwashers, pot filler, and butler's pantry. It is a serious kitchen designed for a house that was made to host. The main-floor primary suite occupies its own private wing with a beautifully appointed ensuite and freestanding soaker tub. Upstairs, 4 remarkably spacious bedrooms offer the kind of proportions rarely seen today. A striking 4-piece bath with separate sinks serves the upper level. Downstairs adds another layer of character, including an incredible piece of history: an original 1952 Bishop & Babcock marble soda bar. And then there is the backyard. A 30-ft pool anchors more than 2,000 sq ft of wraparound cedar decking, creating distinct spaces for dining, lounging, entertaining, and long summer afternoons. Mature gardens provide privacy and greenery, while the pool cabana with its own bathroom is the cherry on top. A steel roof and commercial boiler system add peace of mind. Roseholme is not trying to be like anything else. It is bold, beautifully preserved, impressively scaled, and utterly unforgettable. More than a house, it is a Hanover landmark and one of those rare properties people remember long after they have driven past. (id:7434)
