A match made in heaven-antique architectural elements combine with modern construction to create a true work of art. Simple elegance artfully mingles with primitive sophistication in this unique home. Old and new seamlessly coexist: A 1738 Middletown colonial, dismantled, moved & reassembled in the heart of Newtown. Hand-hewn beams, chestnut floors, 4 fireplaces and wrought iron hardware celebrate the craft of days gone by. Today’s amenities are quietly integrated creating a harmonious and flexible environment in this re-interpreted Saltbox. In-law/au pair potential- minutes to schools, shopping, and restaurants- easy down county commute + 90 minutes to NYC.
