20 Bokum Rd, Deep River, CT 06417

It's hard to imagine one can improve on absolute exquisiteness, but these homeowners did! Interior designers by trade, they enhanced an already great home with a gorgeous bathroom, brand new chic, high-end kitchen appliances, a new security system and most of all...a FABULOUS renovation of the modern barn, turning it from unusable space to an immaculate retreat. Walking onto this property and, first, into the main house is like a living Architectural Digest feature story. Every room, every nook and every niche has a design feature to wow you. Every detail is perfection. A farmhouse originally built in 1895 (it's noted on the town historic register as the Samuel Adams House), this is an absolute gem. The renovation was designed and completed by a local architect and over the last several years, improved upon by the current and previous owners. From top to bottom, it has been updated: from a new well in 2016 to a new, fantastic and sizable bathroom on the second floor. Top of the line appliances and materials are a given. Faux leather walls, vintage grass cloth wallpaper, gorgeous landscaping, a koi pond, zebra wood cabinets, a second floor balcony and attic loft off the primary bedroom, are some of the features this home offers. The newly (2024) renovated, private free standing barn now acts as a guest house that could be used as an office and/or art or yoga studio.

Barn continued: With a full bath and kitchen, laundry and room for a king-sized bed in the 2nd floor bedroom loft this unique hideaway is far enough away from the main home to feel like a private residence all on its own. Tucked away on a country road, this magnificent property is 3 minutes from downtown Deep River and 6 minutes from the villages of Chester and Essex. A perfect weekend escape or a year round residence, this home is a must see! Photos coming Tuesday!
