Incredibly beautiful country house winner of the 1984 House Beautiful Small House contest. Clean, crisp and light-filled this hidden gem is set off a quieter than quiet back road in the historic Milton neighborhood of Litchfield CT. The house is sensible with a practical layout and interesting details. The front door alcove shelters the weather and upon entry, natural light greets. Birch hue bleached floors, whitewashed beams and floor to ceiling bank of windows harmonize. The living room is anchored by a center fireplace. A small dining room leads to the screened porch that offers a seasonal dining area. The kitchen is well designed for cooking and has a high top desk/computer station all with windows to the front yard. An expansive back deck wraps from the living room to the master bedroom. The master offers large sliders to the deck, cathedral ceiling, wall of closets and a spa-like bathroom. Second floor atrium level has a full bath and two very large bedrooms plus a large balcony office. Neat as a pin with all creature comforts-central AC mini splits (5), whole house generator (24KW), hot tub, newer furnace, hot water heater and basement system. Garden shed and garage with loft storage offer space for tools and toys! Burgeoning native mountain laurel and across from hundreds of acres of open space, the property is level grass expanse tucked behind a copse of native flora. Minutes from downtown Litchfield. Come enjoy!
