About This Home
As of April 2022Located on iconic North Street and within walking distance to the town Green, this Litchfield landmark allows you to be part of local history. The Dr. Reuben Smith house was built in 1770 in the typical center chimney style of its era. The home was extensively renovated by the current owners who are committed to preserving its historic details while addressing the needs of modern living. Major updates include well-equipped chef's kitchen with large, south facing windows and french doors leading to new blue stone patio. Owners reconfigured bedrooms and baths, all designed with impeccable taste and standards. The south wing of the home is believed to have been added by the Smith family in 1790 and includes a large family room, which is currently used as a main floor en-suite bedroom. Three additional bedrooms on upper level. Seven fireplaces - the "keeping room" has original beehive oven and iron work. The preserved wide board flooring and millwork in this home is extraordinary. All mechanical systems have been updated. Professionally designed, historically accurate landscaping. Refurbished barn houses two garage spaces and workshop. One of the finest examples of an updated antique in Litchfield's Historic District - a tremendous amount of effort, planning and skill went into restoring this impeccable residence.
