"THE LITTLE HOUSE IN THE WOODS! " Come see this darling one of a kind home set on over an acre in a very convenient location close to the Simsbury/Avon town line. This house has so much charm from it's stunning very large living room with a beamed ceiling and a fieldstone fireplace to the very spacious screened porch that overlooks the private yard of 1.4 acres. It is listed as a 2 bedroom home by the town but either the dining room or the family room could become a main floor bedroom. The attached 2 car garage is a huge bonus as is the finished room in the basement. Although the laundry is in the lower level now it could be brought to the main floor. The lot is vast and has numerous trails for walking and enjoying nature. It's been a family home for many years and then rented while they improved it before selling. Please see remarks from the owners in the attachments.
