Thoughtful updates provide modern comfort without sacrificing authenticity, including central air, replacement windows, updated siding, a 60-year roof, generator hookup, new well pump, and numerous additional improvements completed by the current owners as they meticulously restored the home from the windows and sheetrock to the mechanical systems. Offering the flexibility of up to four bedrooms, the home also features a private in-law suite, providing an ideal layout for multigenerational living, guests, or extended family. Step outside to experience over 6.5 picturesque acres, where a beautifully rebuilt historic barn, fenced in-ground pool, mature landscaping, and open grounds create endless opportunities for horses, hobby farming, gardening, recreation, or simply enjoying the peaceful Connecticut countryside. The property also offers potential for future subdivision (buyer to perform due diligence), making it as appealing for its possibilities as it is for its beauty.
