1768 Old World Elegance - The John Thomson House is a masterpiece of inspired design concepted by famed architect Judah Woodruff, who fashioned the classic architectural landscape of Farmington village. The grandeur of the formal living and dining rooms transport one to a time when craftsmanship was a signature. Original cabinetry, wainscoting, crown molding and bold fireplaces command respect in these generous rooms. The adjacent family room, built in 89, effortlessly bridges the centuries with french doors, coffered ceilings and a grand fireplace of its own. A recent edition atrium, delightful with a working English wall fountain, screened-in windows and basket weave brick floor is a sunny refuge. The country kitchen embodies the warmth of 250 years of family stewardship, while also being a chefs dream. Upstairs, the Master Bedroom Suite runs the length of the house with a working fireplace, dressing rooms, a private deck, and a spa bath. All guest bedrooms are light and roomy with plenty of closet space. The private grounds are spectacular with romantic, formal gardens, raised bed vegetable gardens, a granite patio and pool, multiple patios and even an outdoor pizza oven. The timber-framed, 2 story insulated workshop has multiple possibilities and the attractive garden shed stores all outdoor gear. The newest addition, completed in 19, is a suite over the garage with a private deck, kitchen, bedroom, full bath and den with views of the property. Truly a home for the age
