Foundation has been successfully core tested for pyrrhotite. This Sturbridge Village Freeman Farm House replica, design by Russell Swinton Oatman, offers that simple elegance of yesteryear with modern convenience. Built in 2002, this fine home feels and looks BRAND NEW. An inviting Ipe (e-pay) wood covered front porch and breeze way ties together the detached garage and main house. The breezeway entrance leads to a bright & spacious open kitchen with working wood fireplace and traditional pot crane, a propane fired vintage look wood cook stove and farmhouse sink. In the comfort and warmth of a crackling fire, a place to enjoy the company of family and friends. There is formal dining centrally located for larger or more formal gatherings. At the far side of the home is a lovely living room, with fireplace and ample windows providing natural light. The first floor master bedroom with neighboring full bath w/ walk in shower makes living easy for those preferring to avoid stairs. There are light Ash hardwood floors throughout, with the 2 bathrooms having tile floors. Upstairs you'll find 2 additional bedrooms one with a large walk in closet and an unfinished bonus room over the porch breezeway. The lower level with bulkhead access is huge, clean & roomy with high ceilings and wonderfully maintained heating, hot water and electrical systems. Situated approximately 180 feet off of a designated scenic dirt road, the home is on 17 acres of woodlands. 18 minutes from Uconn.
