Steeped in rich heritage and homesteaded by the Riley/James family in the mid-1800s, this historic 1870s Victorian farmstead stands proudly atop 1.5 acres of majestic oak trees. Built by a Civil War-era ship carpenter from Salem, MA, the home greets you with a magnificent double-story covered porch, original redwood pillars, and a nostalgic horse-and-buggy path. Inside, the preservation of history blends seamlessly with upscale living. The grand interior boasts the original staircase, original restored light fixtures, pristine hardwood floors, exquisite corner and crown moldings, and a separate rear staircase. The gourmet kitchen is a chef’s dream, featuring custom Habersham cabinetry, copper-plated sinks, a massive island, a gas stove, double dishwashers, a wine cooler, and a walk-in pantry—all centered around a cozy gathering nook and elegant coffered ceilings. With two luxurious primary suites, accommodations are unmatched. Relax year-round on the spacious, climate-controlled back porch overlooking an outdoor paradise. The stunning grounds feature a greenhouse, chicken coop, tranquil waterfall and koi pond, a rear circle drive, flourishing flower and vegetable gardens. Adding to the estate’s undeniable allure is the detached garage—originally an 1865 stable crafted from hand-hewn native walnut and oak timbers, complete with a storage loft. James Place is a beautifully preserved piece of history ready for its next chapter.
