Property Description

An antique barn with classic New England post-and-beam construction exposed throughout, set amid a park-like garden along a quiet street, with easy access to shopping and I-84. Converted to a residence in the 1950s, it has been expanded, remodeled, and lovingly cared for by the current owners, who purchased the property in 1979. Avid foodies, they designed a kitchen that is beautiful and functional, with soapstone counters, induction range, generous workspace, and abundant storage. A curved peninsula/bar divides it from the dining room, which opens to the high-ceilinged living room, creating an elegant flow. The primary bedroom on the main floor has windows on three sides, high ceilings, ensuite bath, and a walk-in closet. Upstairs, two bedrooms plus a skylit alcove suitable for an office showcase the original hand-hewn beams and rafters. The sunroom, next to the kitchen and main entrance, has windows lining all four walls, distinctive tile and wood paneling, and a wood stove. Artisanal stone paths weave around the home. Enter the yard through a hand-crafted cedar arch topped by trumpet vine and admire a similarly constructed arbor covered in grape and climbing hydrangea. Wind around the peony bed to a two-level patio shaded by a stately maple. A fenced-in vegetable garden with permaculture-style raised bed and asparagus patch sits at the bottom of the lawn. An herb garden is easily accessed via stairs from the kitchen to the large laundry room in the walk-out basement.
