Fans of historic architecture will soon have a rare opportunity to bid for an impeccable 1913 manor just 30 minutes from Manhattan. Situated on lush grounds in the village of Woodsburgh, N.Y., the house is an artistic interpretation of the Georgian Revival style. “When you walk the property, you can really see the influence that Edith Wharton’s Gilded Age guide, The Decoration of Houses, had on the construction,” says Nate Schar, Director of Luxury Real Estate for Heritage Auctions. “The fact that the home maintains so many of the original features and the floor plan is so easily adaptable to today’s lifestyle speaks to its enduring appeal.”
