Saltbox Colonial is a replica of an 18th century farmhouse situated on 2.5 secluded level acres in Cornwall, CT and consists of 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. The home was built in 1960 and has only had 3 principal owners, with a nod to craftsmanship and many of the elements were salvaged including interior doors, blacksmith forged wrought-iron H & L hinges, handmade door latches as well as bead and spade strap hinges. The living room boasts 15-to18-inch-wide pine boards that were hand planed into feather and bead paneling that adorn the fireplace wall and surround. There is rough hewn oak flooring up to 16 inches in width in the living room, dining room and hall. The remainder of the home is laid with random width white pine flooring from a sawmill in VT. Over the years some updates have been made including vinyl siding (2019), newer furnace (2011), replacement windows (kitchen and apron windows being completed now and the remainder were installed in 2013), updated kitchen with two-tone cabinetry and a new full bath on the second floor with a double vanity and tub with shower. The property has mature landscaping and is ideal for entertaining, could be an ideal spot to install an in-ground pool with deck or patio. The natural circular driveway is private and can accommodate several vehicles. Approximately 2-hours from New York City, there is no shortage of recreational activities.
