About Property

An early & true c1810 home on 11 pastoral acres of rolling hills with old growth sugar maples, rambling old stone walls & sweeping west facing views. The storybook home has beautiful historic features like its gorgeous 12-over-12 windows, Dutch doors, four fireplaces and wideboard chestnut flooring, while the current owners have done thoughtful renovations on the structure, kitchen, baths, etc. The kitchen has soapstone countertops, beautiful inset cabinetry painted the perfect shade of navy with antique brass hardware. There is an extra large Liebherr fridge & a dining nook with windows on three sides, making for a gorgeous spot to take in the morning light over a slow cup of coffee. The living room, family room & office all have fireplaces, and there is a first floor primary bedroom suite with a walk-in closet & beautifully renovated bath. A large mudroom and laundry room complete the first floor & are so nice and rare to have in a home of this age. Upstairs, you'll find three additional bedrooms, one with a large extended flex space, which the current owners use a playroom off the nursery. Outside you'll find a gazebo perched on the land looking out over the view & a sweet shingle-style caretaker's cottage with a new cedar shake roof. It has been gutted & awaits its next iteration. This is the ideal country house, charming and updated on a bucolic piece of land, in a beautiful section of the Litchfield hills just minutes to New Preston and Washington Depot, 2h to NYC.
