Quintessential New England 1780 farmhouse nestled in the beautiful Litchfield Hills. This much-loved home has only hosted two families in the last 50 years. Library with built-in bookcases and cabinets open to a formal parlor with a decorative fireplace. The kitchen was thoughtfully remodeled in 2007 with custom wood cabinets in keeping with the era of the home. The antique hearth now holds a woodstove, keeping the home toasty on cold winter days. The great room is the hub of the home, right off the kitchen with knotty pine walls and cathedral ceilings, built-in cabinets, and room for a game table. Sliding glass doors lead to the in-ground pool and wrap-around deck. A great place to enjoy family and friends. A convenient full bath on the main level is right off the mudroom. Four bedrooms and two additional full baths on the second floor features exposed beams and wide board chestnut floors. So many places to explore including a hidden back staircase a loft and a sitting area or office. The grounds are inviting in all seasons. Swimming in summer, sledding in winter. Enjoy beautiful sunsets all year round. Walking distance to Northfield Center and Nystrom's Pond. 90 miles from New York City and minutes to Litchfield Center, this is the perfect weekend or forever home.
