PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
Rarely does a residence of this distinction come to market. The former Shuttleworth Estate, one of Amsterdam's most storied and sought-after properties, is an extraordinary Victorian-era mansion built in 1890 for the city's prominent carpet mill magnates. Rich in local history and timeless sophistication, this impeccably maintained estate masterfully blends Gilded Age grandeur with modern-day comfort and classic Ralph Lauren-inspired elegance. From the moment you enter the magnificent two-story foyer with its dramatic split staircase, the craftsmanship is exceptional. Extensive curly maple and oak millwork, remarkable stained and leaded-glass windows, gracious formal rooms, a traditional butler's pantry, and a screened sleeping porch speak to an era when homes were created as works of art. Set on approximately 1.6 private, beautifully landscaped acres, the grounds are equally impressive, featuring magnificent perennial gardens framed by historic stone walls, two picturesque ponds, fountains, an in-ground swimming pool, and lush outdoor spaces that create the feeling of a secluded country estate in the heart of the city. Dual driveway access from Guy Park Avenue and Stewart Street provides both convenience and an impressive sense of arrival. Thoughtfully preserved and meticulously cared for, the residence also offers modern amenities including a whole-house generator and sophisticated high-end security system. With its extraordinary architectural pedigree, exceptional millwork, abundant leaded glass, enchanting gardens and unmistakable presence, The Shuttleworth Estate is more than a home--it is a landmark property and a rare opportunity to become the next steward of one of Amsterdam's most magnificent private estates Amsterdam can offer.
