15 Newfane Rd, New Fairfield, CT 06812

Off the main road with a circular driveway, nestled in the woods between Ball Pond and Putnam Lake, this charming colonial cottage with classic farmhouse front porch is a great condo alternative for those seeking privacy and tranquility. The open-floor plan of the main level with grand woodburning stone fireplace allows you to enjoy the convenience of designing your own layout between the kitchen on one end of the the room and the fireplace alcove on the opposite wall: arrange a dining area, office or work space, and living / lounging area. Watch TV and enjoy a woodburning fire while cooking! The fieldstone fireplace and handcrafted chimney are new architectural features, installed just two years ago. The full bathroom is conveniently tucked at the foot of the stairs that lead up to the second level offering two bedrooms and spacious hallway, all with sound-muffling Berber carpet. The "gallery" walls of the stairway and hallway are the perfect place to feature your artwork or family photos. The primary bedroom, at almost 18 x 11, is large enough for a king-size bed and can double as a workspace or studio, while the second bedroom (11 x 12) at the top of the stairs is perfect option for guests or home office. There's potential for additional loft/studio space in the unfinished attic, currently accessed by pull-down stairs, but with enough headroom to inspire future project ideas!

The entire interior of this home was refurbished (new insulation, walls, ceilings, windows, floors, etc.) in 2010. Kitchen and bathroom are perfectly functional and waiting for your design updates, and anticipated remodel has been reflected in pricing. House is wonderful starter home or condo alternative in bucolic setting, a stones-throw from NY state line, lake access, and Brewster station. This comfortable cottage is a perfect country retreat or weekender home, rental investment opportunity, starter home, or "downsizer".
