For Sale in Litchfield, CT
Set on 6.43 scenic acres at the foot of Cathole Mountain, this quintessential New England Colonial is paired with a beautifully restored barn-style guest house. Both antique structures have been thoughtfully renovated with a significant investment in energy-efficient infrastructure, blending historic charm with modern performance. The main house-lovingly known as Thyme Haven Farmhouse-features spacious rooms with original maple flooring and abundant natural light throughout. An impressive chef's kitchen anchors the main level, complete with a breakfast bar, walk-in pantry, 6 burner gas range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and additional refrigerator drawers. A glass sliding door leads to the screened porch which offers views of the beautifully landscaped grounds, consisting of fruit trees and mature plantings. Adjacent to the kitchen is a bright dining room with a bay window and skylights, as well as a large mudroom/storage room. Two additional bay windows flank the spacious living room, which features a gas fireplace and two distinct seating areas-ideal for both entertaining and quiet evenings at home. A main-level bedroom with its own private powder room completes the first floor. Upstairs, you'll find two generously sized guest bedrooms, each served by a fully remodeled hallway bathroom. The expansive primary suite offers a second beautifully renovated bathroom, a large walk-in closet, and a private balcony. The stunning one-bedroom, one-bath loft-style guest house features soaring ceilings, oversized windows, and a new, professionally designed kitchenette. A 2 car garage and storage room sit below the living space. Recent improvements total nearly $400,000 and include exterior painting and new roofing on both structures, as well as window replacement and re-insulation of the main house. The energy-efficient upgrades consist of a geothermal HVAC system, 22 Tesla solar panels, 2 Tesla Powerwall batteries, a backup whole-house generator, and an EV charger. A comprehensive list of improvements is available upon request. Ideally located just minutes from local favorites such as Arethusa Farm's famous ice cream, Bantam Lake, Mt. Tom State Park, White Memorial Conservation Center, and a wide array of charming shops and award-winning restaurants. All this, just two hours from Manhattan and 40 minutes from Metro-North trains-making it a perfect country retreat with easy city access.
