Introducing a timeless sanctuary.  This enchanting property dates back to 1785, but was completely updated and expanded seven years ago.  Tall ceilings, wide floorboards, and hand-crafted moldings are perfectly accompanied by a modern gourmet kitchen, warm family rooms, second-floor laundry, and a spacious master suite.  Limestone steps at the entryway to the home as well as the hearth of both working fireplaces were cultivated from a retired kiln on the property that dates back to the original settlement.  A quiet home office includes recent updates for high speed internet service, and the in-law suite above the garage provides very comfortable accommodation for a studio, office space, or visiting family and friends.  The home is surrounded by an intricate patchwork of lush wall gardens, a tiered vegetable garden, and gorgeous mature trees.  There is also an established pool-site on the west side of the house as well as beach rights for the Rainbow Lake Association for swimming, boating, and fishing.  In addition, this property is situated at the corridor of Pierrepont and Bennett’s Pond State Parks, the largest contiguous open space in the state of Connecticut offering extensive opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts.  This is an incredibly rare opportunity to own a home with quintessential New England character and contemporary convenience on an exceptional piece of property.
