Description

Remarkably built, rustic Oak Timberframe Colonial saltbox set on 2 private acres just minutes from town and Candlewood Lake. This lovingly maintained home blends timeless craftsmanship with thoughtful modern upgrades, offering a warm, inviting lifestyle in New Fairfield's countryside. The open-concept kitchen and great room feature a natural fieldstone Rumford fireplace, custom cabinetry, granite countertops, and stainless steel Bosch appliances. French doors off the kitchen lead to a sun-filled porch overlooking rock garden and bird life - your daily dose of serenity. A flexible walkup attic provides the perfect work-from-home space, home gym, or creative studio. Extensive improvements elevate both the interior and exterior. Over $70, 000 in outdoor enhancements include a redesigned front walkway and landscaping, a new Trex deck, an expanded Cambridge paver patio with stone wall, regraded backyard for a more usable lawn, new railing behind the garage, low-voltage path lighting, and fresh staining/painting on the garage, porch, and exterior areas. Inside, updates include new Maytag washer and dryer (2022), added overhead lighting in the family room, a period-appropriate Irvin Tinware chandelier in the living room, refreshed hallway wallpaper and lighting, updated bathroom vanity and faucet, freshly repainted walls, and a newly installed SimpliSafe security system., Major system upgrades over the years include a finished basement with full bath, hydro-air heating system and newer furnace, roof replacement and new driveway (2018), central A/C (2019), and a completely renovated primary bath (2021). Custom lighting throughout enhances the home's authentic, warm, and natural feel. Tucked away yet close to everything, this property offers the rare combination of privacy, charm, and convenience -- with low taxes and an easy 90-minute NYC commute.
