About This Home

As of July 2021

Broom’s homes represent a blend of historical, antique materials with today’s design, building practices and materials. None more representative than ‘Sitting Pretty.’ Set on almost 5 acres, the light filled home is anchored by the Main Floor’s spectacular 40ft long Great Rooms, once an 18th Century Blacksmith Shop. The magnificent room encompasses sitting area, raised wood-burning fireplace and dining area. Adjoining the Great Room on one side is the tasteful finished Library; on the other, the Foyer and Kitchen, with built-in banquet sitting across from the wood burning fireplace. The Main Floor also includes Master and Guest/Family Bedrooms and an Office/Guest Bedroom. The Upper Floor welcomes family and guests to another of the home’s light-filled Bedrooms. A finished Lower Level offers the comforts and conveniences of a completely renovated Recreation and Laundry area. The home’s large windowed doors and windows invite direct access and breathtaking views of the intimate stone walled English garden, large deck, plantings, sweeping lawns, pastures, barn and garage, artist studio. Minutes away from Lord Creek Equestrian and Hiking Trails, Hamburg Yacht Club and CT River, I-95 and trains to NYC, Newport, Boston.
