About This Home

As of November 2024

Built in the 19th century by the Cogswells, one of Washington's founding families, this unique Federal-style stone home on 5 serene acres in New Preston offers a rare blend of historic charm and modern luxury. One of only four stone homes in Washington, it's perfect as a weekend retreat, full-time residence, or turnkey investment property. This home has been meticulously updated to meet the needs of the most discerning buyer. Recent enhancements include the installation of central air, new HVAC system, and furnace, ensuring year-round comfort. The interior features original hardwood floors, exposed beams, and a chef's kitchen updated with reclaimed wood from the attic. The spacious kitchen opens to a newly added screened-in porch, ideal for morning coffee or elegant entertaining. A cozy den and a living room with a gas fireplace add to the home's inviting ambiance. The primary bedroom offers an en-suite bath with dual vanities and laundry access. Set in a nature lover's paradise, the property is steps from Steep Rock Preserve and 3 minutes from private beach access at Lake Waramaug. Modern conveniences include a whole-house generator, on-demand hot water, and a Nest thermostat system. Located under 2 hours from NYC, this home offers easy access to New Preston Village, Washington Depot, and the amenities of Litchfield and New Milford, all within 15 minutes. This home is more than just a residence-it's a lifestyle investment, where New England charm meets modern convenience.
