Looks can be deceiving, and this Connecticut home is a clear example of that. Most wouldn’t guess that the enchanting saltbox was built in 2021, as its all brick exterior and Colonial-style design make it seem like a place that has stood for centuries. Now on the market asking $1.795 million, the 4.14-acre estate harnesses that small town New England feel that draws so many to this part of the country.
Litchfield County, known for its countryside beauty and great antiquing, has become a destination for those who want a rural retreat from the city or a serene primary home. This property is a prime candidate for either purpose. When crafting the polished abode with cozy character, the sellers made use of high-quality new and reclaimed materials to infuse antique charm alongside the latest amenities and building techniques. Unique, historic elements were incorporated in clever ways, such as the granite rectangular blocks on the patio that came from a 19th-century prison. How many people can boast that of their outdoor spaces?
Walking inside, a blend of airy and rich details work together to create a warm ambiance. Wood floors, brick fireplaces, and elegant crown moldings all define the central living spaces. Meanwhile, the custom kitchen’s cherry and butternut wood cabinetry surrounds the top-of-the-line Bertazzoni appliances to create a cook’s country paradise.
Upstairs, the primary suite and two additional bedrooms await while the lowest level holds another guest suite to round out the total of four bedrooms and four bathrooms. Each room is filled with sunshine and captures peaceful views of the land trust outside.
