    What's special

    Relax by the poolCharming vintage homeVulcan stoveAdorable potting shedDetached three-bay garageHeated workshopInground pool
    It's rare to find a vintage estate tucked away from a main road, but this one sits at the end of a private lane, opening to 6.3 enchanting acres framed by stone walls, manicured gardens, and a charming vintage home. The property includes a large custom two-story pole barn, inground pool, detached three-bay garage, and an adorable potting shed. The great room flows into a kitchen with handmade cabinetry, butler's pantry, soapstone counters, and a Vulcan stove, all centered around a brick fireplace flanked by double French doors leading to a shady brick patio. Off the kitchen, a spacious screened porch surrounded with stone walls, offers a peaceful spot to enjoy the seasons. The formal living room, currently an office, boasts a light-filled five-window bay, while two front entry rooms serve as a den and library. The primary suite, in its own wing above the great room, features a private living room, full bath, sleeping area, and views of Perkins Ponds. Three additional bedrooms, accessed via a second staircase, are bright, charming, and surprisingly well-appointed with closets. The impressive barn offers tandem bays for vehicles, a heated workshop, and two upper rooms perfect for future studio spaces. Relax by the pool, take in the flowers, and enjoy the chorus of birds. This private setting is less than five minutes to Historic Woodbury's town center and only 10 minutes to Washington Depot. Woodbury is Voted top three best places to live in CT according to Travel & Leisure.
