Flawless, mid-century colonial located along the most scenic country road in the historic town of Litchfield, CT. The home is privately set on nearly an acre of sweeping level lawn hemmed with stone walls and gardens and accented by an array of specimen trees.
The tastefully updated 3-bedroom colonial has gleaming hardwood flooring throughout and features a lightswept open layout that gives a perfect flow for easy living and entertaining. There’s a new kitchen with quartz countertops and new Viking range and dishwasher; a sizable dining area set along a windowed wall with views of the garden, a living room with gas fireplace and French doors that open to the large screened-in porch with adjacent deck–a perfect spot for outdoor dining or relaxing with a good book while listening to surrounding birdsong. Completing the main level of this pristine home is an entry foyer with custom built-in floor-to-ceiling book cases that currently serves as a quaint sitting nook off; an updated half bath, and mud room with access to the attached one-car garage.
A spacious master bedroom is quietly located on the second level and boasts a marble bathroom with glass walk-in shower. There’s also two guest bedrooms — one oversized and currently serves as a media room/workspace; and laundry closet.
The full basement is dry and immaculate, and provides ample storage; it has been updated with a sump pump and air dehumidifier. Other highlights include new windows and doors, new air conditioning on the upper level; electrical wiring throughout the house; generator; hot water heater and septic tank. Freshly paved driveway and new walkway.
Select furnishing are available as separate purchase.
Nothing to do but move in and enjoy gracious living with all the modern amenities. About one mile to the Litchfield town Green with bespoke shops and great restaurants. Just 2 hrs. from NYC, close to White Memorial, skiing, hiking trails, horseback riding and swimming.
The town of Litchfield is the county seat, just 55 miles from Bradley International Airport and two hours from New York City. The quintessential New England town is defined by its historic district, which includes important original 18th-century homes that line both North and South Main Streets. An abundance of specialty retail shops, art and antique galleries, and fine restaurants line the beautiful Green. There are numerous equestrian farms as well as agricultural farms in town as well.
Outdoor enthusiasts will find much to do at the 4,000-acre White Memorial Conservation Center including hiking and mountain biking, or cross country skiing and snowshoeing in the winter. Gardening enthusiasts know that White Flower Farm, widely regarded as a prime source for plants and bulbs, is located here too. Litchfield is also home to the country’s oldest law school as well as the Lourdes Shrine, Topsmead State Forest and a portion of Bantam Lake.
