Description

A rare opportunity to own the personal residence of award-winning architect Robert Ojolick, located at 765 Coxheath Road. Set on approximately 4 acres with 200 feet of frontage on the Sydney River, this extraordinary property blends timeless architecture, privacy, and breathtaking natural surroundings. Originally landscaped by Ellerbrook, the grounds feature a picturesque duck pond frequented by returning Mallard ducks, mature trees including European Beech, Eastern Cedar, Pines, European Walnut, Quince, and century apple trees planted in the early 1900s. Producing grape vines, hybrid raspberries, and blackberries add to the charm, while deer, pheasants, rabbits, and the occasional fox roam freely throughout the property. A custom glass and steel greenhouse near the pond is perfect for starting seedlings for the garden of your dreams. Two storage barns and an included zero-turn mower complete the estate setting. The home’s western cedar shingle exterior offers beauty and longevity. Enter through the hand-carved western cedar door into a stunning skylit foyer with soaring 20-foot ceilings that flow into a sunlit dining area. The chef’s kitchen features south-facing glass walls and abundant hickory cabinetry, opening into the expansive living room with river and southern views. Two large decks extend from the living area, including one shaded in summer by grape and wisteria vines overhead. Highlights of the elegant living room include oak hardwood flooring, a striking brick fireplace with hammered copper mantle, and in-floor heating beneath the porcelain tile flooring in the kitchen and dining areas. The main level also offers a family room with private deck access, a full bathroom with shower, and entrance to the attached garage. Crafted oak staircase leads to a sunrise-facing primary suite with office area, river views, generous closets, two additional bedrooms, and main bath. Lower level features cedar storage, teak study, wine cellar, and Steffes boiler system.
