48 South Rd, Harwinton, CT 06791

"Cinematic" best describes the setting for "Stone Hill," situated just south of the village green of Harwinton, one of Litchfield County's quiet sweet spots. Marked by stately pillars, the driveway up to the house is flanked by closely mowed meadows and two tiers of masterfully-crafted, early 1900 stone walls - the framework for much of this historic part of town. Presiding over the 11.45 acre site is a country cape with cupola-topped 2-car garage, bluestone terrace, handsome 1992, 2-story, post & beam barn w/loft & car storage, a gazebo & a small spring-fed pond with tool & tackle shed. The setting is majestic, yet the house invites a casual lifestyle with an open floor plan centered around the Great Room with fp, built-ins and wet-bar, all adjoining the Kitchen, with island and sunny breakfast room. Living is all on one floor with a MBR suite, guest room, sun room and cozy wood-paneled den with a second fireplace. The footprint is generous, as is the lower level with a workshop, sauna & informal wine room - still plenty of room for additional use. The house is solidly constructed, highly maintained, wired for a generator & sporting a new architectural shingle roof. The barn is a tour-de-force, paying homage to classic post & beam, but with an uptick in style - perfect for anything from livestock to an artist studio or that cherished car collection. This very special property will support any dream it inspires.

In 1990 the Harwinton Historic Commission was established in an effort to preserve the town's heritage and character. This section of the town is part of the historic district. In accordance with the local district map, the only part of 48 South Road that falls within the district, is the front part of the driveway. Please see attachments for additional information.
