About this home

Introducing: Fawns Leap, a masterclass in historic preservation. Following an exhaustive, $1.5 million meticulous restoration, this property offers a rare real estate dream: the undeniable charm and soul of an antique home, with absolutely none of the discomforts, drafts, or maintenance costs of one. Stripped down to the studs and thoughtfully rebuilt, the exterior boasts completely new sheathing, classic wood clapboards, and all new Anderson windows. Step through the bespoke mahogany front door into a newly created entry hall that welcomes you with warmth and elegance. The interior has been artfully reimagined for modern living while fiercely protecting its heritage. Original doors, pocket doors, and historic fireplace mantels were retained, and layers of old flooring were stripped away to reveal breathtaking, original wood floors throughout. The living room features a cozy propane fireplace and custom bookcases, flowing into a brilliantly reconfigured kitchen. Featuring custom cabinetry, new appliances, exquisite Taj Mahal Brazilian quartzite countertops, serving as a stunning centerpiece for entertaining. The meticulous attention to detail continues into the private spaces of this 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home. It features two beautifully renovated bathrooms, plus a newly added, luxurious primary en suite bathroom with Calacatta marble, illuminated by skylights and a custom transom window. To seamlessly blend indoor and outdoor living, two smaller porches were combined to create an expansive, sun drenched three season porch that looks out over the grounds. Outside, the 1.25-acre property is an absolute sanctuary. Lush perennial gardens are framed by new split rail fencing and custom fieldstone walkways making a space where you want to linger on summer mornings. A rebuilt pergola and a two level back deck offer endless options for outdoor dining with guests. The outbuildings are spectacular in their own right: the middle barn was gutted and reimagined with four huge skylights and massive 12-foot windows salvaged from a Rhode Island yarn mill. An adjacent old barn was completely rebuilt into a secure, cement floored garage with a custom wood overhead door, brilliantly preserving the antique stonewalls and original timber beams. What truly sets this property apart are the invisible, structural upgrades that ensure decades of worry-free living. Every single system is brand new: electrical, plumbing, a high-efficiency hot air and central AC system. Come enjoy the enchanting lifestyle of Hartland. Right on the border of Litchfield County, it offers the very best in country living. Fishing in the nearby rivers, hiking in the Tunxis Forest. Moments from coffee and dinner in the darling town of Hartland which will transport you to a time of a slower pace and a simple ease.
