About This Home
House includes guest house! Amazing price! A rare opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind private compound nestled in the idyllic countryside of historic Newtown. Set on over 3 acres of exquisitely landscaped grounds, "The Retreat" offers unmatched privacy, luxury, and versatility. This reimagined estate features two beautifully updated residences- A fully renovated 4-bed, 3.5-bath main house and a fully updated 2-bed (potential for 3rd), 2-bath guest house - ideal for multi-generational living or extended stays. Timeless architecture blends with open-concept living and modern systems throughout. The main house boasts a grand two-story entry, vaulted ceilings, custom paneling, and multiple fireplaces. Skylights and large windows fill the home with natural light. The walk-out lower level offers a complete in-law suite for added flexibility. The guest house includes its own living space, kitchen, and entrance. Both homes have new roofs, HVAC, hot water systems, radon mitigation, and designer finishes. Outdoors, enjoy a koi pond, flowing stream, summer wildflower meadow, garden arbors, bluestone patios, and LED-lit walkways. A true sanctuary where luxury meets nature.
