About this home

Welcome to your own country retreat just an hour from NYC. Steeped in Connecticut Revolutionary history, this gem of antiquity is a unique example of Colonial lifestyle and simplicity of yesteryear. In addition to the authentic nature of the house, this parcel features a barn/stable and outbuildings rarely available in this area. This quintessential New England barn is the perfect spot to tinker in your own workshop, store your country cars or just make some old fashioned family memories. This four bedroom 2.5 bath house is perfect for weekend entertaining or for year round living. The ample 1.5 acre lot has been home to horses and other farm animals in the past. The property has been owned by one family for the past 72 years! Wide plank flooring, exposed beams, oversized stone fireplace in the keeping room, library with wood stove, study, laundry on main level, walkup attic, four ample bedrooms upstairs, plus reading room. Kick back with a lemonade on the fabulous screened porch, a respite from your busy work week. Conveniently located on the Darien/Norwalk line, close to shopping, and RR all while maintaining rural serenity. Create your own legacy!! Priced to sell.
