A Rare Country Estate with New York Elegance - Just Minutes from Litchfield! Step into timeless charm and modern comfort at 21 South Road, a rare 4+ acre estate located in Harwinton's prestigious Historic District. Less than 2 hours from Manhattan and minutes from Litchfield center, this refined country retreat offers an ideal escape for discerning buyers seeking peace, privacy, and sophistication. Sunlight fills the home through tall windows, highlighting classic architectural details and creating a warm, inviting atmosphere throughout. A grand, oversized foyer greets guests with grace and flows into a formal dining room complete with a raised hearth fireplace, custom bookcases, and a cozy sitting area. The spacious living room features a second fireplace and large windows that make it perfect for entertaining or relaxing. The expansive kitchen includes a generous breakfast nook, wraparound breakfast bar, ample cabinetry, and connects directly to the mudroom, powder room, and attached three-car garage for everyday convenience. Enjoy true one-level living with four bedrooms (one currently used as an office) and two full baths. The primary suite offers excellent closet space and a private en-suite bath for total comfort. The walk-out lower level provides lifestyle flexibility: a family room with wet bar, third fireplace, bookcases, sliders to a secluded stone patio, and two additional finished rooms with a full bath-ideal for a gym, studio, guest suite, or future wine cellar
Off the back of the home, a serene view unfolds - Sycamore trees lining a gentle rise that frames a classic New England church steeple. It's a beautiful, cinematic backdrop that changes with the seasons. Surrounded by mature trees, hand-built stone walls, and neighboring legacy estates, this private escape is also just 3 miles from Fairview Golf Course and near Litchfield's dining, boutique shopping, and recreation.
