Own an important piece of Canton’s history. This charming country home was built in 1805 by Deacon Elisha Case who was a founding father of the town of Canton, and signed the petition to make Canton a separate town from Simsbury in 1806. This iconic farmhouse is located on 3.42 acres and boasts an abundance of period charm of the era combined with the comfort and efficiency of today. There are 6 fireplaces. A fireplace in every room downstairs, one in the master suite and a gas fireplace in living room. The outdoor fireplace is located on a stone patio. The hot tub is steps away and nestled into a completely private built in sitting area. Most original windows are 12 over 12 & updates follow suit. The exterior and barns are freshly painted. A new metal interlock roof, an updated master bath, a tastefully updated kitchen, a new propane heating system, and new roofs on 2 of the 3 barns are just a few of the updates. There are 3 staircases...hide and seek anyone? Many rooms feature gorgeous wide board Pumpkin pine floors in pristine condition. The beams in the barn are made of Kings Chestnut. Close to Rails to Trails allow you to ride your bike to the town library, restaurants or shops! The home is close to shops and restaurants but the back yard has enough acreage for a horse with barns to go with it! Canton has one of the top school districts in the area and many private schools. Come experience the ambiance of this gorgeous property and all it has to offer.
