Step back in time and experience the charm of a colonial cottage with a history as rich as the rolling hills of Litchfield County! Legend has it that George Washington himself may have hoisted a pint of ale or two in this very house when it served as a tavern in the 1700s.

Across the street from the Housatonic River, less than 10 minutes from the charming towns of Kent and Sherman, and a mere 15-minute drive to New Milford, you're perfectly positioned to explore the best of Litchfield County.

Tucked against a hillside, on a quiet street you will find a home to rest and recharge in. Nestled between the quaint towns of New Milford and Kent, we are in the heart of antique shopping, such as the famous Elephants Trunk flea market and delicious restaurants such as the Old Oak Tavern that is within walking distance.

Although not visible from the house, the sounds of the Housatonic River can be be heard from the front covered porch and you can find fishing spots by simply driving down the scenic dirt road or one of the local hiking spots.

The home is also conveniently located 30 minutes from both Mohawk and Thunder Ridge Ski Mountains and numerous trails for snowshoeing and cross country skiing.

Inside you will find a well appointed home with cozy nooks and space to spread out despite its smaller size. A large kitchen with island seating and plenty of storage is a pleasure to cook in. A designated dining table comfortably sits 4-6 with extra chairs available if needed. Although the downstairs fireplace is not functional at this time, there is a large soaking tub for relaxing. The living spaces and primary bedrooms are heated and cooled by a split system and the spare bedrooms by fans and space heaters as needed.

This home has four sleeping spaces and two full baths. The four bedrooms upstairs include two queen bedrooms and two singles, one which is currently set up as an office with a day bed but could certainly be used as a bedroom. A pack n play can be provided upon request but please bring your own bedding. The upstairs bathroom includes a large soaking tub for relaxing.

The house shares the property with a studio apartment above the garage where the caretakers live should you need anything, otherwise they will leave you alone. You will be sharing a driveway with them but have your own entrance and outdoor dining area next to the front porch.
