This notable Georgetown home was built in 1850 as one of several "bunk houses" for the factory workers at the old Gilbert and Bennett wire mill. Retaining all the charm of yesteryear including wide board floors and hand hewn beams, this historic home has been polished to perfection after extensive remodeling and expansion by the current owner in 2008/2009. Picturesque setting, perched high with stone walls, manicured lawn and flowering gardens, overlooking the Norwalk river (stocked with trout every April by the CT DEP). Walk to the Branchville train station and all the Georgetown/Branchville hot spots, yet tucked back privately. Whether relaxing on the deck by the fire pit or soaking in the hot tub, enjoy the sense of being totally tucked away with only the soothing sound from the cascading waterfall directly across the street. Total 1,785 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 2/1 baths on 3 finished levels including lower level office/den with half bath. The light and bright great room features original timbered ceiling and chestnut floors, and incorporates the living room with wood stove (which can heat the entire house most winter days), dining room, and stylish chef's kitchen boasting Aga gas range, marble counters, tumbled marble floor and back-splash, hammered copper farm sink, and custom cabinetry. Extensive updates including all baths; roof, siding and insulation; cedar deck, fire pit and hot-tub; propane heat, hot water and range; plus central air. True pride of ownership in this very special home.
