Exemplary attention to detail throughout the interior, the grounds, gardens and the pool house manages to give, as the owner says, “a very unpredictable French feeling” to a house that blends Colonial and Federal history. Every room is an entity unto itself, with each room drawing you into the next and then back again. It all begins when you enter the home through the whimsical lime green Federal front door. The large foyer with massive staircase leads to the library with fireplace and built-ins, formal dining room with fireplace, light-filled formal living with fireplace and herringbone floors and then a triple aspect garden room with radiant heat. There are five fireplaces in the home. The kitchen is open and spacious. The second and third floors offer eight commodious bedrooms and five full baths.
The grounds offer formal and informal retreats, with room for tennis courts and croquet, a stunning pool and jetted tub are overlooked by a prodigious pool house filled with wonderful details including a fully appointed kitchen, full bath with laundry. A cobblestone driveway meanders through the 3.93 acres past a carriage barn with a spacious apartment above, a greenhouse and expansive open lawns all surrounded by protected land. The interior and exterior presentation allow special country living in the heart of Litchfield Village within walking distance to fine dining, entertainment and historic delights.
