About this home
Step into New England history with this timeless eyebrow Colonial, circa 1870, nestled just minutes from Sharon's picturesque village center. This beautiful antique gem reflects the enduring charm of a bygone era, when horse-drawn buggies traveled the quiet roads of Litchfield County and life moved at a gentler pace. Rich in antique details, the home features wide-board pine floors, a built-in corner hutch, and custom bookshelves, each element echoing the craftsmanship of the 19th century. In the back of the house, the original red oak siding, a true hallmark of the period, has recently been sanded and is currently being finished with a fresh coat of Benjamin Moore WoodLux stain, restoring its warmth and integrity while enhancing its long-term durability. The spacious living room and eat-in kitchen offer hardwood floors and abundant natural light. A flexible bonus room serves as an ideal office or formal dining area. Four generous bedrooms and well-maintained baths provide comfort and convenience. Set in a tranquil location with easy access to shops, restaurants, lakes, and the Appalachian Trail-this is a timeless New England gem that blends historic detail with everyday functionality.
