About This Home

As of January 2025

This 90-year-old New England colonial in Litchfield's Historic District blends period charm with modern updates. The expansive renovated kitchen, built to the specifications of the chef/owner, features quartz counters, an induction stovetop, two sinks (including a wet bar), and wood-look tile floors. Other gathering spaces include a living room with a wood-burning fireplace, a dining room, an all-season sunroom, and a basement den with built-ins and a half bath. The sunroom opens up to a spacious Trex deck, complete with a new Sunsetter awning. The primary bedroom includes a walk-in closet and a recently added en-suite bath. Also upstairs, two additional bedrooms share an updated bathroom with a shower/tub. The downstairs study, with an en-suite half bath, can serve as a fourth bedroom. The property also incorporates a lovely lawn surrounded by both new and mature landscaping and an oversized attached two-car garage with workshop built-ins. And it's all just steps away from the restaurants and shops that line the charming Litchfield Green. A mile from the Forman School, and a pleasant drive to other county private schools.
