About This Home

As of August 2021

Originally built in 1923, this early mid-century home is set on 9+ private acres with an in-ground pool. The first floor features the kitchen, with butcher block counters and cozy eating area, that opens to the outdoor deck. The light-filled living room, anchored by a fireplace, is highlighted by a vaulted ceiling and access to a covered porch. The formal dining room includes an additional fireplace and opens to a lovely sunroom. A main level bedroom, currently used as a den, rounds out the first floor. Up a level, one finds the primary bedroom, which includes the home’s third fireplace and sunny overflow space with vaulted ceiling, plus an additional bedroom that both share a full bath. Situated minutes to the village of Kent with easy access to Metro-North & NYC, this chic country escape awaits in the heart of of the Litchfield Hills.
