Set on 10.35 pastoral acres bordering protected State of Connecticut land, this beautifully maintained antique farmhouse combines historic character with thoughtful modern updates. Rolling fields, vibrant perennial gardens, and a peaceful meandering stream create an idyllic Litchfield County setting that promises enduring privacy and unspoiled natural views.

The heart of this gracious home centers around a sun-filled gourmet kitchen designed for both cooking and gathering. A welcoming sun porch warmed by a propane stove provides seasonal enjoyment, while the flowing layout connects the comfortable living room to the dining room. The main level also includes a versatile office or bedroom with an adjacent full bath.

Three spacious bedrooms and two well-appointed baths occupy the second floor, while a finished third floor presents additional flexibility as a studio, playroom, or guest quarters. Every space thoughtfully balances the home’s historic integrity with modern comfort and functionality.

This quintessential Northwest Connecticut retreat delivers exceptional outdoor living with its extensive acreage perfect for gardening and recreation. The location provides easy access to regional skiing, hiking trails, and scenic attractions throughout the Litchfield Hills.
