Michelle Licata of Douglas Elliman has just put on a five-bedroom estate with a pool… all for less than $2 million. The Sickles-Tallman House in upstate Orangeburg, which dates back to the late 1700s is available for $1,598,000. Sitting atop 2.2 private acres, the estate has since been transformed into an award-winning red stone Dutch Colonial.
The Sickles-Tallman House was once owned by Zita Johann, an Austrian-American actress who appeared in seven films of the early 1930s including the 1932 film The Mummy with Boris Karloff. After she died in 1993, the home was saved from demolition and restored by subsequent owners.
The 3,300 sqft home has five bedrooms, 3.5-baths, a family room, a library, cathedral ceilings, and four fireplaces. There are numerous original detailing from the period throughout the residence including well-maintained antique lighting fixtures.
The open concept kitchen steps down to an attractive family room. Features 14 ft ceilings it provides a seamless flow to exquisite gardens and manicured lawn.
The backyard features a 20×60 gunite saltwater pool and jacuzzi spa. Residents can enjoy their privacy as the estate is surrounded by abundantly planted specimen shrubs, perennial gardens, and fruit trees. A pergola-topped lounge area, professional-caliber outdoor kitchen, and pool house with outdoor shower are perfect for hosting a fun backyard party. The cedar fencing, mahogany front porch, 2-car garage, and circular driveway complete this peaceful setting.
The estate is located only 18 miles from NY.
