Step back in time while keeping both feet firmly in the present at this breathtaking 1850 Antique Colonial, a home where history is preserved in every grain of the original wide oak plank flooring that stretches throughout the residence. Set upon a sprawling 9.6-acre sanctuary, this estate welcomes you with the timeless charm of iconic New England stone walls and the promise of a peaceful, private life. As you move through the home, the warmth of the central fireplace invites you to linger while the versatile layout offers modern solutions for today's lifestyle. This includes a gracious first-floor living room with built-ins that is perfectly positioned to serve as a generous fourth bedroom, complementing the three bedrooms upstairs. The story of this property continues beyond the main house, where a detached 300-square-foot studio beckons as the ultimate artist's retreat, fitness space, yoga studio or quiet sanctuary. The landscape is a masterpiece of nature and design, featuring a pond that serves as a focal point for morning reflections and a sprawling stone patio designed for outdoor entertaining. While the home honors its 19th-century roots, it does so with a meticulous eye toward modern reliability boasting a new boiler, recently painted exterior and newer well pump with tank to ensure peace of mind for years to come. Whether you are tinkering in the detached two-car garage or stepping over the bridge and exploring your nearly 10-acre forest & pond, you are never far from the essentials. This rare retreat offers the perfect balance of pastoral seclusion and accessibility, located across from 150+ acres of state forest and just minutes from the charm of Sandy Hook Village or the center of Newtown with seamless access to Route 84 and Route 34 for an easy commute. This is more than just a home-it is a storied Connecticut legacy ready for its next chapter to be written.
