Historic 1725 American chestnut post & beam Barn/Cape, now contemporized but with its original charm and history. This 3 bedroom, 2 and a half bath home, owned decades ago by the Johnson and Johnson family, features marvelous entertainment potential, with its Great Room fireplace, 7 feet wide and floor- to-ceiling, 2-person sauna with Blaupunkt speakers, Gunite pool surrounded by decking and its massive 3-season porch. The kitchen is replete with granite counters, custom cabinets and stainless steel appliances. The loft, currently the master bedroom, has a full bath (with a marble sink that was salvaged from the Taft Hotel) and walk-in closet. The portion of the home facing Chestnut Hill (a twisting road admired for its New England charm) was added in the mid-1970's and provides 2 more bedrooms, a full bath, and a unique, silo-shaped den. Two pretty acres surround the home, however 6. 6 acres more are wooded and extend all the way to the Hammonasett River. The property has some mature plantings, a grapevine and trellis, and two outbuildings, large enough for small farm animals. The property is also approved for horses. Newer Buderus boiler, ceiling insulation and wainscoting, hot water heater, gutters and downspouts, architectural shingle roof, pool and well pumps, privacy fence, and 3 new ceiling fans. With almost every window replaced for energy-efficiency, just move right in!
