An enchanting retreat surrounded by protected land at the end of a gravel road awaits – a perfect place to unwind amongst the sounds of nature. A classic cedar clapboard saltbox home has the craftsmanship of an antique and the benefits of bones that are 50-years young, plus architect-designed updates. Inside, the open living/dining room has 3 exposures and includes a wood burning fireplace and a wall of windows providing views across to the charming cabin. An opening framed by antique beams leads to the fully updated kitchen. A bedroom and modern bathroom complete the 1st floor. The oak open riser stairs lead up to 2 more spacious bedrooms with vintage doors and wide plank floors. A bathroom off the landing has modern fixtures and a reclaimed wood ceiling from Brooklyn’s Domino factory. An unfinished attic completes the 2nd floor – a dormer could provide expansion possibilities for a den, library or large home office. Outside, the level grounds are dotted with maples, locusts, a weeping cherry, stone walls, an open lawn for yard games, and a firepit for evening s’mores. A heated barn has 3 deep bays for any manner of hobbies, plus storage for cars and outdoor toys. An antique log cabin has a stone fireplace and vaulted roof – yoga space, party barn, fabulous playhouse, art studio, or future pool house… All of this ~2 hours from NYC and a short hop to amenities of Goshen, Norfolk, Torrington, Litchfield and Cornwall including skiing, farm markets and hiking trails galore.
