From the agent: "Built in the Georgian style by Benjamin Noxon in 1770, today the historic home is tucked behind a marvelous privet and sits amongst gardens of peonies and hydrangeas. The one-acre property backs up to a whimsical stream and is surrounded by protected land. One cannot help but notice the precise symmetry throughout the house—the Golden Ratio or "divine proportion'" was often applied in Georgian architecture and is said to be the root of all beauty in nature, art, and architecture. From the fenestration to its hipped roof and four-over-four layout, the home is formal in both style and stature yet surprisingly relaxed, with an easygoing quality that is highlighted by its graceful proportions."
The Noxon House’s aged brick exterior is vested in ivy. The revamped residence sports a hipped roof, four paired chimneys, and decorative double-hung sash windows: three across the second floor, and four on the first.
