EXQUISITE RURAL RETREAT... you'll find this c. 1760 home set back at the end of a long driveway. Once owned by architectural designer, Nancy Fishelson, the home has been sensitively and meticulously restored and was once featured as a cover story in Connecticut Cottages and Gardens. A rare opportunity to own a truly unique and special property that offers tranquility and inspiration. An expansive fully-equipped kitchen with beamed cathedral ceiling, custom cabinetry, honed firestone countertops and high end appliances opens to a sitting area with a wood burning fireplace and lovely built-in bookcases; the perfect spot to relax and enjoy your favorite novel. The original front entry foyer leads to the living and dining rooms, both feature exposed beams, wide-plank flooring and fireplaces. A mudroom/office area off the kitchen looks out to the backyard and leads to a third staircase to the private spacious master suite w/high beamed ceiling, walk-in closet w/built-ins and a luxurious spa-like bath offering a soaking tub and large tiled shower. Three additional bedrooms and a full bath are found on the upper level. There is a guest bedroom with full bath and outdoor access in lower level. Set on a 2.10 acre lot with fabulous outdoor spaces; a heated gunite, salt water pool & spa, beautifully designed English gardens with raised beds and pathways, offering an ideal setting for outdoor leisure moments, al fresco dining, lounging and summer entertaining. The views are magical. There's an adjacent open green space shared by a small enclave of homes (6 antique period homes that were moved and placed along the shared space) affording additional privacy. This peaceful oasis presents an idyllic setting to entertain and to host friends. Additional amenities include a "bonus" room with a separate entrance; perfect gym, yoga, or art studio, a two-car garage, extensive outdoor lighting, Waterworks fixtures in 3 bathrooms, central A/C, automatic generator, professional dog washing station and a security system. Minutes to quaint quintessential New England villages of Chester and Essex and 15 minutes from Madison and the Connecticut shoreline. Conveniently located mid-way between Boston and New York City; each accessible via highway or train. An exceptional property not to be missed.
