75 Parmelee Rd Haddam, CT 06438

The Latshaw Apple Barn, a 19th century structure, was moved to its present site in the late 1990s and was transformed into a stunning 3100+ square foot contemporary home. The home is sited on almost three magical acres. The house and 80-foot-long garage/equipment shed are sited at the high point of the property with easy, level access from Parmelee Road. To the west of the house is a sweeping level lawn that has been the site of alfresco celebrations. Attached to the south of the house is a large Ipe deck that looks out over gardens and 2 patios that front on the pond and dramatic waterfall. A stroll along the lower lawn, along the stream is especially tranquil. The development of the original Latshaw Apple Farm was very sensitively done - no other houses are visible from the house and most of the property. The front door opens to a welcoming two-story foyer with a guest coat closet. This area flows effortlessly into the Great Room where the use of large custom windows in the 2 1/2 story height marries drama to the lofted barn aesthetic. There is a gas log fireplace and beautiful custom wood built-in cabinet and bookshelves and three sliding doors to the expansive deck. The space accommodates the living room and a dining space that can accommodate a banquet sized table. The kitchen is around the corner and is designed to view the yead in three directions. The two large pantries eliminate the need for upper cabinets. There is abundant counter space and a Jennaire gas range.
