About the Home

A unique chance to own a piece of history in an unbeatable location! Built in 1825, this special bicentennial gem offers nearly 2 acres of mature trees and hidden meadows, bordered by protected land and equestrian property. Endless potential for renovation or start fresh as a new build, with a 4 bedroom septic system and preserved antique features like original wide plank flooring, exposed wood beams, fireplaces, built-ins, trim and more. The main level has formal living and dining rooms, with two bonus sunrooms on the side, a galley kitchen with full pantry and mudroom entry off of the driveway. There are 3-4 bedrooms upstairs with a full bathroom and access to the 750 square foot walk-up attic, offering extra space for storage or future expansion. The full basement also offers additional space for storage. The large front porch overlooks the scenic front yard and the Bethel Land Trust Wolfpit Nature Preserve, for protected views and year-round privacy. Out back you'll find a stone patio and there is also a detached garage with plans for a finished space above. Ideally located close to numerous major routes for an easy down county commute and convenient to both the Bethel and Redding train stations. Only 90 minutes to NYC and just minutes to Downtown Bethel's quaint shops, restaurants and community activities. A very special property for the full time resident or as a weekend getaway!
