This home, originally built for Mary Gill, is situated on a high knoll just off River Road on Wolf Pen Branch. Completed in 1904, its colossal columned porte chochere and a doorway framed by Ionic pilasters reflect the popular Colonial Revival styling of the period. The grounds and gardens are thought to have been designed by one of the famous landscape architects of the time, possibly Bryant Fleming or the Olmstead Brothers.
Located at 5044 Nitta Yuma, this is one of the twenty-one estates designated as the Country Estates of River Road Historic District by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. This distinctive 6 acres estate, now known as Spruce Hill, has been lovingly restored to the grace and grandeur of a former time. The current owners, with the assistance of Lee W. Robinson, have made this one of the most desirable homes in the region through their architecturally sensitive renovations.
All the grounds and stone walls have been restored to their original park like beauty. The lush lawn and gardens are now fully irrigated. The massive greenhouse is both beautiful and fully functional, having been recently renovated.
The honed marble floors and custom designed De Gourney wall coverings in the foyer open into an expansive 22x40 walnut paneled library. This room joins the music room and solarium, all creating an elegant place for entertaining or a cozy spot for curling up with a book in front of the massive wood-burning fireplace.
The kitchen is truly a chefs kitchen! It has been completely renovated with a breakfast room added to make this historic home as up to date as any new construction. You'll find marble countertops, Wolf ovens and cook tops, two dishwashers, refrigerator drawers and custom cabinetry.
The lush lawn, boxwoods, perennial gardens, century old Spruce and Juniper trees make this estate and its grounds a rare find in this region. An additional six acres, now being used as a pasture for horses, is available to the buyer.
