A truly special country retreat; this 1776 true New England Salt Box home was completely restored (mechanicals too!) by the owner to be period correct and comfortable for modern living. This historical gem is nestled on gorgeous grounds. Rambling stone walls, established gardens and fruit trees make living here a delight. Across the street is 100+acres of currently non-buildable land, offering you privacy and natural beauty. A newer construction garage with two bays and a small work shop or storage shed make things easier. You will marvel at the original door, original buttery (pantry) and wide-plank floors throughout this one of a kind home. This property is an antique-enthusiast's delight. While you may want to update kitchens and baths to your more modern liking, the charm and period details will make you feel instantly at home. The house has had all the duct work done for central AC - buyers that know antiques know the duct work is always the challenge! A whole house generator (propane tank) makes things easier. Establish your "get away from it all" home in this delightful, meticulously restored and maintained classic, Connecticut antique.
