Discover your perfect country retreat in this charming antique saltbox home, circa 1781. Nestled in the picturesque Litchfield Hills of Cornwall, Connecticut, this 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home offers a serene escape. Set on 10 private acres in the heart of Litchfield County, it provides modern amenities while retaining its New England charm. You’ll find two barns, stonewalls, and a detached 2-car garage on the property.

Broadway producer Oscar Serlin once owned this historic saltbox, and the current owners have lovingly updated it. The gourmet kitchen boasts a vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, skylights, and a large bay window. A French antique island, quartz countertops, and a copper farm sink add to its charm and functionality. The open dining room features a large window with divided lites, a vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, and skylights.

A large stone fireplace with a beehive oven warms the spacious living room. It also includes exposed beams, bookcases, and a corner cupboard. Wide board flooring runs throughout the main level, which also features an entry hall with antique pine paneling, a cozy den, and a powder room. Upstairs, you’ll find two en-suite bedrooms, including the primary suite with a wood-burning fireplace, an open seating area with bookcases, and a newly renovated bath. The third floor has two additional bedrooms and a shared hall bath, providing ample space for family and guests.

This historic home sits in the vibrant community of Cornwall, offering easy access to weekly farmers’ markets, swimming at Cream Hill Lake, and fly fishing on the Housatonic River under the historic Covered Bridge. You can also enjoy skiing at nearby Mohawk Ski Area. Private schools and charming towns like Salisbury, Lakeville, Sharon, and Millerton are conveniently close.
