About This Home

As of September 2025

The second time since its construction, this home in the sought-after Purchase Brook area is for sale. Over the years, this home has hosted events and has entertained and charmed guests. Its lush five acres have been home to horses boarded in the oversized two-stall barn. The current homeowners have thoughtfully added to the original structure, adding five hundred square feet to what was originally a saltbox style. This investment created a space that has been versatile for the current owners, serving as a handicap accessible in-law, first floor primary, and even as a second living space; phase two of this renovation included an oversized three car detached garage with an expansive loft space - currently used as storage, but can easily be finished to accommodate whatever personal pursuits or passions the next steward may have. It is easy to understand how this area is the jewel of Southbury; the rolling hills, quiet streets, and convenience to Roxbury, Woodbury, and I-84 make this a place that is both a retreat and a practical location for everyday needs.
