Set on 2.07 picturesque acres in Litchfield County, this 2,850 sq ft residence plus an additional 360 sq.ft. Screened Porch with Fireplace showcases impeccable craftsmanship with plaster walls, reclaimed wood elements, and period-inspired fixtures that honor its 1761 origins while incorporating sophisticated contemporary amenities. Approached via a circular stone driveway bordered by perennial gardens and fruit trees, the property features distinctive pink granite entry steps harvested from the land itself. The heart of the home reveals soaring vaulted ceilings in both the kitchen and great room, anchored by a magnificent Le Cornue range and Sub-Zero refrigerator. Four wood-burning fireplaces grace the residence, including statement hearths in the entry foyer, screened porch, living room, and luxurious first-floor primary suite. The upper level accommodates three additional bedrooms-one with an ensuite bathroom while two others share a hall bath-complemented by a versatile room perfect as a dressing area or private office. Outside, professional landscaping frames beautiful stone walls and a level yard, while a detached two-bay garage provides convenient parking and storage.
