126 Old Mill Rd Wilton, CT 06897

This notable Georgetown home was built in 1850 as one of several "bunk houses" for the factory workers at the old Gilbert and Bennett wire mill. Retaining all the charm of yesteryear including wide board floors & hand hewn beams, this historic home has been polished to perfection after extensive remodeling & expansion by the current owner in 2008/2009. Picturesque setting, perched high with stone walls, manicured lawn & flowering gardens, overlooking the Norwalk river (stocked with trout every April by the CT DEP). Walk to the Branchville train station & all the Georgetown/Branchville hot spots, yet tucked back privately. Whether relaxing on the deck by the fire pit or soaking in the hot tub, enjoy the sense of being totally tucked away with only the soothing sound from the cascading waterfall directly across the street. Total 1,785 sf with 3 bedrooms & 2/1 baths on 3 finished levels including lower level office/den with half bath. The light and bright great room features original timbered ceiling & chestnut floors, and incorporates the living room with wood stove (which can heat the entire house most winter days), dining room, & stylish chef's kitchen boasting Aga gas range, marble counters, tumbled marble floor & back-splash, hammered copper farm sink, & custom cabinetry. Extensive updates including all baths; roof, siding & insulation; cedar deck, fire pit & hot-tub; propane heat, hot water & range; plus central air. True pride of ownership in this very special home.
