36 Ferry Ln Simsbury, CT 06070

A rare offering! This Ferry Lane historic home is an exciting example of a Greek revival built circa 1840 and set in a most unique neighborhood near the original Pent Road Ferry site on the Farmington River! The handsome Colonial has been lovingly restored by its current owners who took great care in uncovering the history and fine qualities which the home has to offer. Details include 5 fireplaces, built-in bookcases, and a distinctive front entry with decorative Grecian door with 'surrounds and sidelights' and an Adams-style fanlight above the door. A spacious kitchen with island, new oven/range and fireside eating area features ample cabinet space and adjoins a marvelous pantry/storage room leading to the brick-floored three season porch and to a private office. The formal living and dining rooms combine to entertain large gatherings with multiple fireplaces and warm wood floors while the first floor study with bookcases and a fireplace is a quiet oasis. Situated on the upper level, the master bedroom has a fireplace and cozy sitting nook while two additional bedrooms share this floor along with walk in storage areas. A detached barn/garage has a loft and workshop while a walk-in woodshed shed with workspace is attached to the house. The in-ground pool is completely fenced and the liner was replaced in the past 5 years. Further improvements include: updated wiring, updated plumbing, new septic tank. Bird enthusiasts will love the proximity to State land, the river, trails!
