Hawks in the 1930s, one of America's leading aviation pioneers, this storied home was originally a barn that was moved back from the main road, & parts of the interior were constructed of beams & brick salvaged from Mark Twain's nearby "Stormfield" after it burned.

A circular staircase climbs to the 2nd floor FR w/large stone fireplace & curved balcony overlook. This truly one of a kind residence offers stunning brick & wide board floors; timbered ceilings/exposed beams; 3 stone fireplaces + wood burning stove; gracious DR w/adjoining wine bar/cellar; & 3 finished levels.
