Description

Historic elegance meets modern luxury in this extraordinary residence located on one of the most desirable roads in Litchfield County. Positioned just an hour and fifteen minutes from New York City, this property offers quintessential Bridgewater charm paired with stunning sunsets and breathtaking views of the Litchfield Hills. The home is a brilliant architectural achievement that masterfully incorporates the historic 1829 Mallet District Schoolhouse into a seamlessly expanded 2006 Williamsburg-style new build. Set on a coveted, level one-acre lot framed by iconic New England stone walls, the freshly painted estate unfolds across sweeping, park-like lawns that are perfectly sized for large gatherings or sports games, yet easily manageable as a lock-and-leave retreat for busy families. Ins ide, period craftsmanship shines alongside sophisticated contemporary finishes, highlighted by bespoke millwork, seven-inch wide oak floors, and five magnificent wood-burning fireplaces. The main level is designed for both grand entertaining and intimate living, offering formal living and dining rooms that are each anchored by striking brick fireplaces. These spaces flow effortlessly into a sunlit, paneled family room warmed by a rustic fieldstone fireplace. At the heart of the home sits a chef-grade kitchen outfitted with an eleven-foot center island, a classic farmhouse sink, premium high-end appliances, and a bright breakfast area that opens directly to the backyard. Honoring its storied heritage, the main floor also features a private bedroom suite situated in the original schoolhouse wing, complete with a dedicated sitting room and a sleek marble bath. The upper level serves as a tranquil escape, featuring a luxurious primary retreat warmed by its own fireplace. This sophisticated space boasts three closets and a spa-like marble bathroom with radiant heat, all centered around a timeless clawfoot tub. Two additional light-infused guest bedrooms share a beautifully appointed marble hall bath, also featuring radiant heat, while an upper-level laundry closet adds modern convenience to the masterful layout. The serene outdoor living spaces are just as thoughtfully designed, with bluestone and granite gracing the backyard entertaining areas and offering plenty of room to add a pool. Unmatched functionality is provided by a two-bay barn and garage featuring upper-level storage. For those seeking even more space, the home includes a bright, insulated walk-up attic that is ready to be finished, alongside a massive full walk-out basement offering two distinct areas measuring 39 by 31 feet and 26 by 20 feet. Merging centuries-old character with modern sophistication, this estate offers an unparalleled lifestyle.
