Welcome to Greendale Spring! The original portion of this estate started with a 19th century springhouse & tenant house.

The first thing you notice is the spring-fed pond with a fountain. One passes around the pond to the detached 3-car garage & a large parking area. The current owners significantly expanded the house in 2007 with a beautifully detailed 2-story addition that perfectly integrates into the existing 19th century home.
