This cozy Antique Cape in the New Preston section of Washington is full of charm. Originally built in 1840, the house was completely renovated in 1998 and has undergone many improvements since. Upon entering you will find a mudroom with a large walk in closet which would work perfectly as a second main level bathroom. Adjacent is a primary bedroom with vaulted ceilings and ample storage space. The end of the entry hallway opens up to a combination living/dining room. The living room has hardwood floors, a wood stove, and plenty of room for furnishings. The kitchen is bright and sunny with a skylight and tile flooring. The main level bathroom has a shower/tub and washer and dryer room. Upstairs is the second bedroom right next to another full bath, as well as a small additional room which would work nicely as an office. Many improvements including roof, septic, well, windows, and chimney have all been completed within the last 7 years, as well as a new boiler in 2019. This lovely, low maintenance home is ideal for those looking to downsize or for a starter home, or for equestrians who can enjoy H.O.R.S.E. of Connecticut right across the street. Just 10 minutes to Washington Depot, the Litchfield town center, local hiking trails and award winning restaurants.
Please let your clients know that this home borders Route 202 and has road noise.
