Description

Perched gracefully atop 2.64 acres of Hobkirk's Hill, this historic residence - affectionately known as Happy Hill since its construction in 1917 - is a rare offering in the very heart of Historic Camden.
 
Set well back from the road, the main house is surrounded by manicured lawns and gardens,  stables, a barn and detached garage, and a charming guest house.
 
Since 2022 the home has undergone significant renovations marrying historic character with refined modern luxury. 
The main residence showcases original single-sourced heart pine floors in every room (all refinished in 2022); original painted cedar shake siding; intricate crown molding; seven wood burning fireplaces with ornate mantels and clay-lined chimneys; an original grand arched-window on the back landing; and beautifully updated living spaces. The first level features a formal living room, formal dining room, sunroom, expansive kitchen with breakfast table, private office, and a proper mudroom. 
 
A stunning screened porch off of the sunroom overlooks the expansive west side of the property creating a serene retreat for morning coffee or evening gatherings.
 
At the heart of the home is the fully renovated gourmet kitchen, featuring marble countertops, custom designed and constructed inset cabinets, two sinks, refrigerated drawers, and high-end finishes that elevate both form and function. The second level offers five generously sized bedrooms, each with its own updated bath. 
 
A full unfinished basement, with a half bath already in place offers abundant storage or a future recreation space. Completing the estate's living quarters is a beautiful guest cottage, whose main living space was once the kitchen for the house originally built on the property. 
 
The cottage features a large bedroom and full bath, grand family room with a large central fireplace, dining area, and full kitchen. 
 
The stables, built in 1932 and designed by a former president of the Camden Polo Club, honor Camden's equestrian heritage.  The entire structure includes four full stalls, a feed room, several tack rooms and a half bathroom as well as a giant second floor hayloft.  Across the lawn from the stables is a full-sized gable style barn and a garage capable of fitting two full-sized vehicles.  
 
Happy Hill is a truly remarkable estate, that stands the test of time!
