Historic 1790s Irish Farmhouse with Designer Renovation

Set on a quiet road in Falls Village, this enchanting 1790s Irish-inspired farmhouse offers magnificent western views to Falls Mountain and beyond. Recently renovated by a nationally recognized decorating editor and landscaped by an acclaimed garden designer, this timeless Litchfield County property seamlessly blends historic character with sophisticated modern touches.

The thoughtfully designed interior features a spacious kitchen with high-end appliances and a wood-burning fireplace, complemented by an attached greenhouse perfect for year-round gardening. The generous, light-filled living room provides direct access to the professionally designed gardens, while a versatile library with built-in bookshelves could easily serve as a first-floor primary bedroom adjacent to a full bathroom.

Multiple outbuildings enhance the property’s appeal, including an L-shaped potting shed with electricity and a charming summer screened cottage, providing endless possibilities for workshops, studios, or peaceful retreats. The outdoor spaces are equally compelling, highlighted by a sunken garden bordered by boxwood trees and a crushed stone entrance marked by espaliered apple and pear trees.
