This stunning Georgian Revival, originally constructed as a summer residence, is seated majestically on a scenic hill with 196 feet of tidal waterfront on Ames Cove. The historic estate is now available for $4 million. Commissioned by architect Fred Savage between 1894 and 1896 for George Philler, a prosperous banker from Philadelphia, the expansive 10,000-square-foot home underwent a total restoration in 2011, which included a new foundation, landscaping overhaul, and modern mechanical systems. Showcased in various publications, the home boasts nine bedrooms, many featuring balconies and fireplaces. The grand entry includes dual staircases, an oval dining room, and multiple living spaces. Spanning 4 acres, the property features beautifully manicured formal gardens, kitchen gardens, woodland areas, a wildflower meadow with fruit trees, and a renowned Italian-style Knot Garden. There is also a gravel beachfront and a specialized storage system for six kayaks, offering easy access to stunning kayaking opportunities in the scenic Gilkey Harbor. The Dark Harbor House is listed for $4 million with Terry Sortwell of LandVest.
