Description
Attention Antique House Lovers. Circa 1760 farmhouse cape on 1+ acres of professionally landscaped property on beautiful and convenient Simsbury Rd, abutting Kenmore Rd. is a “must see†property. This home is truly special, combining a diligently maintained and upgraded original colonial structure with an amazing seamless and historically sensitive 2005 addition. Key features in the original structure include three working wood burning fireplaces, one each in the living, dining and keeping rooms, built-in cabinetry and bookcases and gorgeous hardwood flooring throughout. The four upstairs bedrooms and one bath join a main level bedroom with attached fully remodeled bathroom. Shaker style cherry wood cabinetry in the kitchen is both beautiful and highly functional and is a lovely counterpoint to the modern stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, all nicely lit by recessed and under cabinet lighting. The new addition was designed with a keen eye by a prominent historical architect in blending the old and embracing the modern in a most tasteful way. Bridging the original house by constructing a main level laundry and mudroom area, with both direct access to the two car garage as well as entry into a sun-filled first floor lounge with heated tiled flooring and a wall of windows and door was a stroke of genius! Wait until you see the new great room & full bathroom it is stunning! Please see attached further notes for new great room information. Enjoy a beverage or cook out and take in the beautiful patio & professionally landscaped views with stone walls & perennial plantings. Equipped with a retractable awning that allows for shade or sun. Inside, an inviting staircase leads you up to the open design of the new and soaring great room that features a gas log fireplace, radiant wood flooring and central air. It is currently enjoyed as a family room complete with a pool table (negotiable) for entertaining fun! An attached bathroom that features a whirlpool tub, dual sinks and a large shower will have you thinking about utilizing this addition as a primary bedroom. The beautiful door with transom window leads to the Ipe wood deck that flows out onto the back lawn where you can enjoy an evening fire and listen for the crickets. Take a walk back in time to experience this much loved and well-maintained farmhouse while enjoying the comforts of modern living.
