About this home
Perfectly positioned between Washington, Lake Waramaug, and Litchfield, this enchanting antique home offers timeless New England character, inviting living spaces, and beautifully landscaped grounds. The heart of the home is a dramatic vaulted living room, added in the 1990s featuring a striking fireplace, soaring ceilings, and abundant natural light. Rich in history and warmth, the dining room is anchored by an authentic antique cooking fireplace, while an intimate media room /sitting area, complete with a third fireplace, provides a cozy retreat for relaxing or entertaining. The kitchen opens seamlessly to a screened porch overlooking the gardens, creating the perfect setting for morning coffee, al fresco dining, or quiet summer evenings surrounded by nature. A flexible floor plan includes a main-level bedroom and full bath while the upper level offers two additional bedrooms, a shared bath, and a separate office ideal for remote work, creative pursuits, or overflow guests. Outside, the property unfolds into a private oasis. Meticulously curated gardens bloom beneath a canopy of majestic mature trees, while classic stone walls enhance the home's quintessential New England appeal. A heated in-ground pool is purified by salt water and has a new liner. It is surrounded by mature plantings, stone terrace. Outbuildings include: an oversized 1 car garage, a sperate barn which could be converted to studio or additional garaging, and a poolside garden shed. Pool liner and skimmer returns replaced 2025 remaining pool equipment 5-8 years old.
