Set on a quiet road in Falls Village, Connecticut, 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 could easily serve as a first-floor primary bedroom adjacent to a full bathroom. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms share an oversized bathroom, with a walk-up attic offering abundant storage space.

The property’s outdoor spaces are equally compelling, highlighted by a charming sunken garden bordered by boxwood trees that creates an ideal setting for entertaining. A crushed stone entrance marked by espaliered apple and pear trees sets the tone for this special retreat. Multiple outbuildings provide endless possibilities for workshops, studios, or additional storage.

This exceptional property sits above the magnificent Great Falls and enjoys proximity to the Housatonic River and Appalachian Trail, with convenient access to Metro North for commuters. A rare opportunity to own a piece of Connecticut history in one of Falls Village’s most peaceful and scenic locations.
