For nearly a century, a country estate in Chateau Country has been known
and admired for its historic stone water tower, visible to passersby from Kirk Road.
Beyond the gates lies a piece of Delaware’s past that’s seldom seen: a stately, three-story manor house nestled on 8.5 acres.
Originally known as Virieux, the property was once the glamorous 19th-century gathering place where Antoine Foster and
his wife, Victorine du Pont, entertained weekend guests. Today, vintage architectural features and modern-day conveniences live harmoniously within the manor house’s stout walls. The home’s crowning glory is a newly installed Vermont slate roof, ready for its next owners and generations to come. The property is on the market, a rare occurrence in its long and storied history. The price: $4.3 million.
A TRUE EAT-IN KITCHEN IS EQUIPPED FOR GOURMETS WITH PROFESSIONAL-STYLE APPLIANCES, A LARGE COPPER RANGE HOOD AND GRANITE COUNTERTOPS.
