Graystone Hall

Graystone Hall

This elegant stone residence has been restored and renovated with all the modern conveniences. Enjoy country lifestyle in an elegant home built for entertaining. The home is privately sited down a long drive and overlooks spring fed ponds and a large orchard.  

Authentic Limestone Residence

Originally constructed from locally quarried limestone this home was built for a successful local merchant more than 100 years ago. Over the years, the well-known Peller Family has continued the residence’s modernisation with additional comforts of estate living such as a wood panelled library, a large eat-in kitchen with seating for at least twelve comfortably, an indoor pool and exercise studio plus tasteful renovations to the main dining room and large drawing room. Today, the home has 5 bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms.  

Kitchen/Family Room

The country kitchen is an expansive room with beamed ceiling and wonderful western views over the countryside and the property’s spring-fed ponds. The kitchen is open to the family room with a gas fire place and offers a direct walk-out to the stone terrace. The room is flooded with natural light and the custom cabinetry and light stained hardwood floors add to the country charm of the room. Just off the kitchen is a large walk-through pantry with superb storage space.

Dining Room

The 2 ft thick stone walls, panelled window coves and century old wood floors make the dining room in the Peller house truly a signature room. The dining room is perfectly positioned between the kitchen and living rooms.

Living/ Drawing Room

At the south side of the home is the large drawing room which has welcomed guests since the late 1890s. The over-sized windows on either side of the fireplace and along the eastern wall offer views over the orchard and the surrounding countryside. 

The Library/Office

The private owner’s library and office can be closed off from the main portion of the home for added privacy and it also has its own exterior entrance. The rooms are warmed by a gas fireplace and have extensive rows of built-in book cases.

The Sun Room with Stone Fireplace

Off the kitchen and family room is a bright sitting room with floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. Along the south wall are large sliding doors which open onto the stone terrace. This room is enjoyed in all seasons.

Television/Games Room

The lower level of the home has a large media room with stone fireplace. This is a perfect kids’ retreat space! Also on this level are a series of storage/utility rooms.

Exercise/Recreation Wing
