The "Larsen Estate" is a storied masterpiece of "castle-like" grandeur and one of Sandy's most iconic historic residences.

Outside, the grounds invite private contemplation under mature trees and classic swings. Modern convenience meets heritage with dual efficient furnaces, R38 insulation, and quick access to world-class skiing and urban dining.
