Kent, Connecticut

Beautifully renovated antique Colonial on 4.5 private acres with a tumbling brook. Hardwood floors and original beams throughout, two wood-burning fireplaces, custom lighting, original wide-plank floors in some rooms, and a gorgeous, country kitchen with built-in appliances. The formal dining room anchors the heart of the home, with a small private study for multiple uses on one side, and a large living room on the other side. Every room shows loving attention to detail and comfort. Added onto throughout the years, the house flows comfortably. The original cottage, connected by a light-filled inner hallway with hardwood floors, offers a lovely family room or second living room, with a wood fireplace, a full bath that includes an imported English claw-foot soaking tub, and a cozy upstairs bedroom for guests. There are two large barns: one is a combination garage, tool shed, and wood shed. The other, built using the chestnut beams from the original barn on the property, is capacious, with a cement floor and truly endless possibilities. Gorgeous antique stone walls and perennial gardens, and the property is private and protected in the back by its natural landscape.
