Charming 17-acre residence bordering state forest with its own pond, brook, and even a Par 3 golf practice hole. Two years ago, the present owners purchased this 1864 Farmhouse Colonial for its open floor plan, exposed beams, and privacy in a wooded setting. They completed a major high-end renovation of this 3,870 square foot home, even adding a breezy screened porch overlooking the pond. An unexpected inheritance of a family home now has them relocating nearby, so this special home is being offered in finished, move-in condition. A grand-sized living/dining room features a fieldstone wood burning fireplace, wood beams, new wide plank floors, stunning architectural windows, and two sets of French doors leading onto a new deck. All bedrooms are ensuite. The primary bedroom features a large bath and walk-in closet, with stairs to a 3rd floor office and sitting room. The custom gourmet eat-in kitchen is equipped with top-of-the-line appliances. Other rooms include a guest room accessed by separate stairs, a family room with built-ins (which could be used as a guest room with a nearby half bath), a sunroom with beams and floor-to-ceiling windows facing the pond, and a 2nd office, as well as a charming barn/garage. The setting is landscaped lawns surrounded by woods. Minutes to Topsmead State Forest and just a short drive from the historic Litchfield Green. The red barn/garages are being sold in as is condition.
