About This Home

As of August 2020

This home has never been offered for sale and has been in one family since they built it in 1973! It's located on a quiet, country road within minutes to Route 202 and all the amenities of upbeat Bantam Center. The owner began updating, splitting time between CT and a warmer climate. The decision has been made...the South wins...and you could, too! Updates include: cherry front door and side panels; Andersen Renewal lower level slider and windows throughout (except 2 dining room windows - plan was to add slider and deck); propane fired wall-hung Baxi boiler (2013), garage roof (2016), eaves and gutters, more. Lower level utility room has washer & dryer, utility sink and toilet and is plumbed for a shower. All 4 garage doors, ready for restoration, are carved panels of western red cedar (imagine them sanded with a clear seal). In days past, the stocked, spring-fed pond provided great year-round entertainment and relaxation for family and friends alike. Use your imagination for the upper level makeover above the detached garage...man-cave, she-shed, teen hangout, meditation room, arts and crafts studio, artist's loft... The house, garage and property have great potential! Property sold as-is.

***ADD'L INFO: 0.519 Morris acre (assessment: $13,270, taxes: $252.20) PLUS 3.074 Litchfield acres, house, outbuildings (assessment: $168,270, taxes: $4,712.78 = total annual taxes $4,964.98) *** Spring-fed pond is a resource with substantial insurance benefit to Owner ***
