About this home
“Wunmore” is derived from the builder’s name and his choice to build yet another house. J. More Preston had already put up several houses in Roxbury and in 1867 decided to build “one more” using the materials left over from the others — hence was born the inimitable Wunmore.
By the early 1900s, Historic Wunmore was purchased by Helen Gould Shepard, daughter of Jay Gould - industrial magnate of the late 1800s and one of the richest men in America. Available for the first time in a generation, this Victorian cornerstone of Roxbury was used as a summer house for Helen Gould Shephard's daughter, Helen Anna Shepard, then passing to Anna's son, John Shepard. Helen Gould Shepard owned Kirkside Estate, now known as Kirkside Park, the grounds of which are adjacent to Wunmore. John Shepard eventually sold the house to Norma Van Mingroot in 1990, a patron of the arts and a pillar of the community.
This victorian gem is imbued with heritage, artistry, and beauty. The central staircase is widely considered the most elegant and beautiful in the region and the pristine original claw foot tub is one of only three still in the town. A large stately home with high ceilings and large windows, it features 4-bedrooms, 3-bathrooms, and 3,000 usable square feet on a large town lot on Main Street in the uniquely quaint town of Roxbury, NY. Inside, abundant natural light highlights the hardwood floors and a breathtaking winding staircase. The first floor features a formal living room and dining room, each with a fireplace (propane and wood respectively). A cozy eat-in kitchen with custom cabinetry, a large island, double oven, and oversized windows above the sink. Also on the main level are a bright office and an expansive sunroom - famously used for Norma's springtime parties. Upstairs there are four generous bedrooms, including a primary suite with an ensuite bathroom, an additional sunroom, and attic access via an original staircase. Outside, a quaint covered front porch is perfect for warm summer evenings.
Wunmore uniquely combines the charm of Roxbury and the quality construction of the Gilded Age. Wunmore is truly one-of-a-kind!...
