Description

Located on 7.87 acres in the peaceful woods of Litchfield County, CT, this charming, yet modern country estate is known to the sellers as Toad Hall. As you drive down the long driveway you'll pass the pond and brook that traverse the property. The wrap around deck, patio and covered side porch are a perfect vantagepoint from which to watch and listen to the stream and wildlife. There are 3 fireplaces in the home which add warmth for those chilly months. The living room has an amazing stone fireplace and connects to a charming den with French doors, both with Anderson windows allowing wonderful views of the surrounding landscape. Kitchen updates include cherry and glass cabinets, quartz counters, new appliances in 2018, breakfast bar, and an extra large pantry. The flow of the 1st floor lends itself beautifully to entertaining both inside or out and includes a 1st floor office. A fabulous upper level primary suite with skylight, a fireplace, and vaulted ceiling overlooks the brook for beautiful morning views. The 2nd level has 2 more bedrooms with wood floors and on the 3rd floor you'll find a studio...perfect as a yoga space, playroom, media room, another office or bedroom. Recent upgrades include 1st floor central air/HVAC and 5 Mitsubishi mini-splits, new LG washer dryer on the 2nd floor, new propane generator, and commercial sized dehumidifier. The partially finished walkout lower level offers the 3rd fireplace, as well as roughed in plumbing for a future bath. A 7.5 foot deer fence encloses a generous space in the rear of the home for gardening or dogs and includes a charming, mossy frog pond. An additional large pond is stream fed by a 2nd brook. This property is considered to be a pollinator pathway so the front yard can be thought of as a meadow, requiring no mowing. This property can be enjoyed as a summer camp with an abundance of outdoor space to enjoy in the warmer months, an autumn haven surrounded by colorful foliage, a peaceful winter wonderland, and a blooming spring paradise. This idyllic, enchanting property beckons.
