About This Home

As of July 2025

Available September 1st, 2025- June 1st, 2026. This historic Victorian home in the New Preston section of Washington is now available for rent after being tastefully renovated from top to bottom. The main level is highlighted by the expansive kitchen with soapstone counters, a butler's pantry, and French doors leading to a rear patio area. The remainder of the first floor features a living room, spacious great room, dining room, and an office with a full bath that could be used as a 5th bedroom. Upstairs are 4 bedrooms, each named after prior owners who have called "The Humphrey's House" home over the past 127 years, including a nephew of Mark Twain. The bright and sunny primary bedroom has a stylish walk in closet, and an en suite bathroom with a steam shower and radiant heat flooring. A brand new bathroom in the second en suite bedroom features the same top of the line upgrades. Two additional cozy bedrooms sit across the hall, with a third second level bath serving the two rooms. Well known British designer Graham Robert Moore has transformed this Victorian gem into a marvelous display of the modern day aesthetic without abandoning the history of the home. The 40x18 heated saltwater pool features an electric cover and 8 person attached hot tub. This home is just a short stroll to swimming and boating at Lake Waramaug, shopping in the New Preston town center, 30 minutes to skiing at Mohawk Mtn. & Metro North trains, and 90 minutes from Manhattan!
