Welcome to Greendale Spring! The original portion of this estate started with a 19th century springhouse & tenant house. For the 1st half of the 20th Century, this property was part of Greendale Farm. The property now offers nearly 6,000 Sq. Ft. of living space. The first thing you notice is the spring-fed pond with a fountain. One passes around the pond to the detached 3-car garage & a large parking area. The current owners significantly expanded the house in 2007 with a beautifully detailed 2-story addition that perfectly integrates into the existing 19th century home.
