Part of early American History and truly one of a kind! The Ebenezer Tracy house (circa 1750) is an antique Colonial, originally built in Lisbon, CT but meticulously dismantled and rebuilt by the Wallace Family mid 20th century on a modern, concrete foundation. The idyllic and secluded 6.32 acre property with serene pond views can be used for horses, gardening, hobby farm and has the potential to be subdivided. The large 18th century barn (moved from Oxford CT) allows for 3 cars and attached horse stable w/2 stalls and tack room. Inside this heirloom home you will find craftsmanship that is unmatched today including expansive paneled rooms, original wide plank floors, 5 fireplaces (rebuilt/functional), large Keeping Room, Parlor, Library, Indian Shutters, Gunstock corners and much more. Very few Antique homes can offer a modern poured concrete foundation but this one is dry and provides an enormous amount of storage. Updates include 3 bathrooms in 2017, cedar shake roof 2015, RUUD Hybrid Water Heater 2019 and extensive tree management/removal. And while this unique property and private setting evoke the charm and simplicity of yesteryear the central location is a commuters dream. Located midway between Hartford and New Haven with easy access to Route 15 and only 93 miles to Grand Central/NYC. Wonderful weekend home or potential vacation rental! With this much land and house you'll have lots of options! Be the next owner to continue this legacy of love!
Note: there is a primary bedroom (and another that can be used as a bedroom) on the main floor. A full bathroom and Laundry on the main floor. Current owners have lavender, garlic, strawberries, fruit trees, goats and chickens.The owners are willing to leave certain items that relate to the historical record of the house (paintings, some furniture). The attic space is large/tall with potential to be finished.
