"1832 Farm" on 11.75 acres with sunset views
New Hartford, Litchfield County, Connecticut
The owners doubled the size of the original brick farmhouse with a two-story addition of a kitchen/great room, mudrm & 2nd flr primary bedrm suite. The blended kitchen/great rm features cherry cabinetry, bookcases, fireplace, an island with a stretch of breakfast bar for sous chefs, cozy seating for media watchers & access to a wrap-around deck overlooking a panorama of perennial beds, stone walls, a small pond, barns & meadow. An artful merger of old & new juxtaposes original pumpkin pine paneling, random-width board flooring & multiple fireplaces, with skylights, recessed lighting, radiant-heated floors & divided-light thermal windows throughout. The living rm & dining rm are both gracious and spacious, each with a fireplace & window vistas. All 4 bedrms are upstairs w/ 2 fbaths, a tucked-away office & laundry area. The Primary bedrm suite is designed as a separate wing w/dressing area, vaulted ceiling, skylights and fbath ensuite. A huge, floored walkup attic begs not to be overlooked. Two meadows flank the house & out buildings and in '97 a 6 box-stall barn was added with direct turnout, a tack room & hay loft, all adjoining a lighted indoor ring for all-weather groundwork. Behind the barn is an outdoor ring and north meadow. Safe from the whims of Mother Nature, the house is protected by a 2013 Tower self-maintaining, whole-house generator.
