Description

Springfield circa 1828 is a beautifully appointed Brick Federal manor house and icon in the village of Heathsville. A gracious and opulently appointed historic property, Springfield has retained all of the original features that makes this property an absolute purists dream. In need of restoration, this property was built to last by William Harding in 1828 and updated in 1850 with the Greek Revival elements that survive to this very day. Breathtaking ceiling medallions date to 1850. Heart pine floors, fireplaces, mantels, massive crown moldings and an elegant staircase beautifully ascends to the finished attic level. The high english basement has retained its original herringbone paved floors which also date to the original construction. A stunning front portico (added in 1850) features original architectural elements including the wrought iron ballastraud, original columns and ceiling. Original dependencies are astounding. Glorious gardens are in need of some TLC but have fabulous bones, including: ancient towering magnolias, mature english boxwood, hellebore and more are pronounced. This property is an absolute purists dream.
