Ravenscroft is celebrated for its archways, drama, and enduring romance. The centerpiece of the estate is the 52-foot living room, modeled after a London stage production and built large enough to accommodate Peggy’s beloved horse, Jack, who would warm himself by the fire. This room, like much of the home, is steeped in a sense of story, where memory, myth, and timeless elegance intertwine.
A winding drive leads past manicured lawns and rose gardens, revealing a stately Spanish façade draped in ivy and history. Enter through a garden-lined foyer and into the light-filled garden room before arriving in the heart of the home—the grand living room, where rich textures, mahogany finishes, and dramatic scale evoke an era of aristocratic charm.
Beyond the living room lies the kitchen, where classic elegance meets modern convenience. A custom La Cornue stove anchors the space, which opens to a sitting area, butler’s pantry, and sunny breakfast nook with a fireplace. The adjacent dining room—with its Carrara marble table and French doors—leads to a private courtyard perfect for alfresco evenings. Just beyond, a cozy library offers a quiet retreat.
Upstairs, the private primary suite is a study in romantic luxury. A hand-forged wrought iron bed, dual bathrooms, a dressing room, and a hidden shoe-shelf passage leading to a lookout tower infuse the space with both sophistication and whimsy. Windows frame garden and pool views, bathing the suite in soft, natural light.
Three tranquil guest bedroom suites are located on the main level, each with its own bath, closet, and French doors opening to the rose gardens. On the other side of the home are the home theatre, laundry room, and powder bath—spaces that blend comfort, leisure, and practicality.
Jack’s Cottage features a queen bedroom, bathroom, and sauna, while the charming Abigail Cottage sits amid fruit orchards, lush lawns, and a hen house. The historic Tea House has been reimagined as a tranquil spa retreat and guest suite, designed for overnight stays, entertaining, massage treatments, and quiet moments of restoration.
Ravenscroft’s 1.56-acre grounds are a wonderland of elegance and play. Terraced fire pits, a pool and spa, courts for tennis, pickleball, and bocce, and loggias draped in live vines all invite connection and celebration.
With just three owners in over a century, each a steward of its legacy, Ravenscroft is one of the most authentic and complete George Washington Smith estates in existence. Painstakingly restored over 13 years using original plans, materials, and craftspeople—including the grandson of the original ironworker—it stands as a rare intersection of historic integrity and modern refinement. Here, the past lives beautifully in the present. And the next chapter is yours to write.
