About This Home
As of October 2022Own a piece of American history in historic Newtown, Connecticut. The Benjamin Curtiss house c. 1747, built by one of Newtown’s Founding Fathers and located in the Sandy Hook section of Newtown is a three-story, classic center-chimney colonial, whose spacious rooms feature beautifully handcrafted wainscoted woodwork reflecting the status of its original owner. The home features three bedrooms with two and half bathrooms and boasts seven fireplaces!Both house and property have been meticulously maintained and enhanced by the current owners over the last twenty years. The property has several stone walls and a formal English garden and was exclusively featured by the Newtown Historical Society’s annual “Home and Garden Tour” as recently as 2018. A woodland path with views of where the Pootatuck River and Lake Zoar meet are among some of the many attractions that make this home so uniquely desirable. The home’s historic provenance has been exquisitely preserved by the owners with a museum curator’s eye for detail; beautifully renovated chef’s kitchen and updated baths enhance a modern living space, all while aligning with the home’s stunning antique character and aesthetic. An antique lover’s must-see in Sandy Hook!
