About this home
Truly unique and historically significant, this extensively rehabbed Colonial set on 12 acres is the home where Little Red Riding Hood was written! There is still some work to be done, but you will be delighted by what is here, including a completely modern kitchen, first-floor laundry, a $35,000 solar panel, a new roof, a great FHA heating system, an irrigation system, spectacular outdoor living space, a barn, a whole-house generator, and water frontage. The living room has exposed beams, a fireplace, and a wet bar with a wine cooler. The master bedroom has another fireplace and a walk-in cedar closet. There are two more rooms upstairs that could be combined to make one large bedroom, or reconfigured to remain two bedrooms. The front room could be an office or family room, and has another fireplace. Enjoy the outdoor fireplace on the patio, or flow from the GORGEOUS sunroom out to the huge deck overlooking the above-ground pool and the gazebo, great for warm summer days.
Perfect for lovers of historic homes, and priced to sell! Charming antique home of treasured childrens book author/illustrator Elizabeth Orton Jones. Great location in Mason, on Rt. 123. Four fireplaces, new roof on house and barn, 12 acres with peaceful brook at edge of field. Rehab property, requires work before inhabiting, sold as is/where is.
