Originally built as an artist studio and private residence this truly unique home has been remodeled throughout with modern day conveniences, all while preserving the charm and character of the home. When the cartoon star Mickey Mouse appeared as Steamboat Willie, an animated 1928 short film produced by Walt Disney, a carpenter with an eye for design was building this fascinating house. Solid oak doors salvaged from Yale University, large wooden beams, hardwood flooring and stone fireplace add warmth throughout the space. Natural light infiltrates into the heated sunroom/dining area and flows into an open floor concept. Kitchen adorned with copper backsplash and authentic sink. Dual staircases each lead to private suites with paneled wood, cathedral ceilings and full baths. Possible 3rd bedroom/office, and full bath with laundry located on the first floor. Sprawling level back yard is ideal for entertaining. This house is a great place to escape from the "hustle and bustle" of the city. Southbury is located along the Antique Trail, and is located within minutes from wineries, breweries and world class Mayflower Inn Spa (Gilmore Girls spa is based off of this spa). If you are looking for a little more fun, Quassy Amusement and Water Park and several skiing destinations are a short distance. Newer roof, windows, water heater, septic tank.
