EXQUISITE RURAL RETREAT... you'll find this c. 1760 home set back at the end of a long driveway. Once owned by architectural designer, Nancy Fishelson, the home has been sensitively and meticulously restored and was once featured as a cover story in Connecticut Cottages and Gardens. A rare opportunity to own a truly unique and special property that offers tranquility and inspiration. An expansive fully-equipped kitchen with beamed cathedral ceiling, custom cabinetry, honed firestone countertops and high end appliances opens to a sitting area with a wood burning fireplace and lovely built-in bookcases; the perfect spot to relax and enjoy your favorite novel. The original front entry foyer leads to the living and dining rooms, both feature exposed beams, wide-plank flooring and fireplaces. A mudroom/office area off the kitchen looks out to the backyard and leads to a third staircase to the private spacious master suite w/high beamed ceiling, walk-in closet w/built-ins and a luxurious spa-like bath offering a soaking tub and large tiled shower. Three additional bedrooms and a full bath are found on the upper level. There is a guest bedroom with full bath and outdoor access in lower level. Set on a 2.10 acre lot with fabulous outdoor spaces; a heated gunite, salt water pool & spa, beautifully designed English gardens with raised beds and pathways, offering an ideal setting for outdoor leisure moments, al fresco dining, lounging and summer entertaining. The views are magical.
