Perched gently near the banks of the meandering Sandy Brook, this c.1800 home exudes quiet charm and understated elegance. Set on over 3 picturesque acres in the hidden gem of Colebrook. It is a true country escape. One that offers privacy, character, and an effortless connection to nature. Winding stone walls trace the contours of the rolling landscape, creating a setting that feels both cultivated and wild. The main residence is joined by a 3 car garage with an in-law suite above, along with a classic barn, a woodshed, and even an original icehouse, evoking a sense of New England's storied past. Inside welcomes you with warmth and authenticity. The dining room and center hall staircase greet you upon entry, setting the tone for a home rich in detail. To the right, a cozy living room is anchored by the original river rock fireplace. An enchanting nod to the home's heritage. Beyond that, a sunroom with walls of glass and a wood-burning stove draws in the natural beauty just outside, creating a serene space for reading, gathering, or simply watching the seasons shift. Two flexible rooms on the main level, ideal as a home office or den, includes an attached half bath, while the eat-in kitchen offers the perfect spot to enjoy morning coffee to the sound of the brook just beyond the window.
