165 Ball Pond Rd, New Fairfield, CT 06812

Authentic Mid-Century Modern home with over-sized windows that allow nature and light in. Set back from the road with ample back yard living. Stately setting with 2 acres, yet, close to the center of town and positioned on the west side of town. Homey and comfortable open floor plan with many idyllic details: frank lloyd wright-esque fireplace, low-rise steps throughout the property, exaggerated eaves to enjoy the rains. Fantastic spacious, finished, walk-out basement with unique stone patio. Home to an artisanal craftsman (mason & carpenter), who valued quality materials: extremely rare wormy chestnut paneling and pecked cypress woodwork. Wormy American Chestnut was only around in the 1900's (due to a blight of insects) and can only be found in reclaimed barns & Only 10% of the cypress wood is 'pecked' making it extremely valuable. Wonderfully, SOLID home that has been loved by both owners and enjoys many non-sexy updates (plumbing update, 50 trees cleared, new roof, new garage walls/walk up attic, new garage door, chimney re-pointed and recapped). Alas, cosmetic updates are needed thus the advantageous price. May be room for a pool as septic is in front and well in back...pool possibility on patio side of home. Wonderful home for the entrepreneur that has trucks and requires additional outbuildings. *****NOTE some rooms have had virtual reality applied~TLC will make this home SHINE!
