183 Range Rd, Wilton, CT 06897

Welcome to 'Holmes House' an antique colonial farmhouse with a rich history in the town of Wilton. The home is dated by the Wilton Historical Society at 1860, based on the year in which it first appeared on a town map. However, the bread oven and other fireplace fixtures in the living room may actually date the original house to the 1820's. The hand planed wide floor boards have a rich patina and luster, polished smooth over the years, and the original staircase leads to the master bedroom, adding ambiance to an antique lover's desire for authenticity. A second staircase leads to the upstairs hall. The charming kitchen is light and bright, originally a work shop, and the antique brick flooring is still in place. Skylights, windows, quartz counter tops, stainless steel appliances and ample room for casual dining complete this space. The home is situated in South Wilton on 1.5 acres of manicured yard and gardens. A large bluestone patio for outside dining and entertaining, and a fabulously level lawn for all sorts of outside activities, are surrounded by mature trees (including many dogwoods) and an iconic stone wall. Tremendous curb appeal completes this antique lover's dream. See addendum for more information....
