About this home
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....
