NEWLY UPDATED: Reconfigured 2nd floor for more modern functionality, refinished wide plank chestnut wood floors on the main level, repainted interior and exterior, new roof, and upgraded mechanicals, among other things, make this large 1805 antique home shine. Located in one of Newtown's most desirable neighborhoods right off US84, providing easy commute access in all directions, as well as convenience to shopping, restaurants, and office/medical facilities. The layout is perfect for these times, with the first floor offering 2 offices, a gym, and a bonus room for studying, crafting, painting, etc. In addition to the massive kitchen and family room (both added in 2007), the first floor includes a dining room, sitting room, and formal living room (with dry bar). The 2nd floor contains not only the 3 secondary bedrooms, but also a large sunroom and oversized main bedroom (added 2009) with separate dressing room. All in, this stately residence provides all the space and privacy that today's household requires while people are working and learning and staycationing more at home. Beautiful corner, 2-acre fenced lot with stone walls, raised garden beds and a bluestone patio. Don't miss out on living the quintessential Connecticut experience in Newtown, a thriving community in Fairfield County.

Special Note: The home has a history of being taken care of by present and former owners. The current owners bought the home 21 years ago from a local Newtown architect/builder, who subsequently has maintained a relationship with the house the past two decades. He designed and built the additions both on the first and the second floors, as well as prepped the home for future expansion if desired. Most recently, he oversaw the latest renovations in preparation for the current sale. The next owners of this lovely home could, if so desired, similarly leverage the Newtown architect and his knowledge of the home in any future projects.
