Perched on over three private acres at the peak of picturesque Hill Street in Suffield's Hastings Hill Historic District, this one-of-a-kind home offers the perfect balance of New England character and thoughtful modern updates. Abutting the 90-acre Lewis Farm Bird Sanctuary, the property enjoys protected nature views, maintained walking trails, and the peace of knowing the landscape will remain undeveloped. From the outside, the home presents as a charming New England cottage nestled between two detached garage outbuildings offering exceptional storage, workshop space, or additional vehicle parking. The home's unique design has living spaces positioned to take full advantage of the natural light and surrounding views. Inside, the flexible floor plan includes four bedrooms and three full baths. An additional room on the main-level exudes character with beautiful built-ins, a picture window, fireplace, and closet and is ideal as a study, lounge, den, or guest space. The updated kitchen combines function and character with a cedar tongue-and-groove ceiling, a custom-built pantry featuring live-edge shelving, and modern updates that complement the home's original charm. The spacious living room is filled with natural light from a wall of west-facing windows and new sliding doors that open to the patio, creating an inviting space to gather while showcasing beautiful sunset views. Fireplaces on both levels add warmth and character throughout the home.
Nearly every window has been replaced, bathrooms updated, and freshly painted interior and exterior spaces which make this home move-in ready. Outside, the expansive backyard is perfect for entertaining, yard games, or relaxing. Mature landscaping completes the setting, offering privacy and beauty in one of Suffield's most desirable historic neighborhoods. Professional photos will be available prior to showings start. The assessment/tax $ change will impact the July 2027 bill. The current taxes are $5923.06 but next year they will be minimum $6500.
