Welcome to “Hidden Acres”, truly a hidden gem on the Connecticut shoreline! Enter the circular drive and immediately feel that you’ve stepped back in time to a simpler lifestyle - baseball and apple pie, a picnic on a checkered tablecloth, fishing in the pond, and tending your vegetable garden. A working fireplace in the large eat-in kitchen sets the stage for the original antique charm you'll find throughout the home. The wide plank floors have been carefully maintained and restored to a beautiful shine, and the many windows bring plenty of light into the home. The diamond lead windows are typical of the period, with each diamond pane hand-welded to create an eye-catching work of art. While the home is filled with warmth and charm, it’s the outdoors that makes this home extra special. There are two original barns that can be used for many practical purposes – art studio, stable, contractor’s storage – or fun purposes like sleepovers, hide-and-seek and ghost stories! Up the path to the rear of the property are rock formations with caves to explore. If you’re a car enthusiast or need storage for a boat, this home can garage 3 cars and a boat with room to spare for your other “toys”. Enjoy the antique charm while appreciating the many updates done in recent years. Minutes to the town center, beaches and marinas, this wonderful home is waiting for you.
House was under contract for $340,000 but did not go to closing because buyer wanted a new septic system without having it inspected. Minor cosmetics on home inspection. Septic has been checked by Monoflo and it is working properly.
