This classic country home is situated one-half mile up a town maintained dirt lane, on 17 VERY private acres surrounded by hundreds of preserved land trust acres! This historic home has been owned by only four families since 1780, so it retains all of the original charm and features, like the beehive oven fireplace (plus 4 other fireplaces), wide board chestnut floors, cedar shake roof and a classic front porch from which to enjoy the view of your pond, in which the owners and their family have enjoyed swimming in for almost three decades. You will swoon at the gorgeous setting, with acres of cleared land, beautiful intact original stone walls a tennis court and a small orchard. Minutes from Roxbury, Washington and Litchfield County the house is historically notable, with an oversized living room, generous bedrooms, finished attic (as the fourth bedroom), screened porch (for watching the bluebirds) a deck off of the primary BR, two staircases, and plenty of light flooding in. For your overflow guests there are three more bedrooms above the oversized two car garage with their own full bathroom and a sitting area, comprising approximately 1000 additional heated square feet of living space. (Yes, 7 bedrooms total!) There is plenty of room in the garage for a workshop, or use the open shed at the rear.
