Its discreet driveway leads to a residence that seems to have sprung organically from the land, offering an unparalleled level of privacy and peace. A spacious deck and open, modest lawns add to the comfort of being alone in the forest, and yet so close to everything that Litchfield County has to offer. The interior's open floor plan enhances the connection to nature, while the large primary bedroom on the first floor boasts a sumptuous en-suite bath and walk-in closet. Two cozy bedrooms on the second floor share a full bath, completing this woodland retreat. Surrounded by conservation land and the soothing sounds of the river, this home remains conveniently close to local shops, eateries, and elite private schools. Near to Kent, the center of Sharon, and the Metro North train station. Hotchkiss, Kent, South Kent, Indian Mountain, and Salisbury are the private schools within easy range. It's an idyllic escape where life's hectic pace gives way to the restorative power of the great outdoors.
