Saltbox Colonial is a replica of an 18th century farmhouse situated on 2.5 secluded level acres in Cornwall, CT and consists of 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. The home was built in 1960 and has only had 3 principal owners, with a nod to craftsmanship and many of the elements were salvaged including interior doors, blacksmith forged wrought-iron H & L hinges, handmade door latches as well as bead and spade strap hinges. The living room boasts 15-to18-inch-wide pine boards that were hand planed into feather and bead paneling that adorn the fireplace wall and surround. There is rough hewn oak flooring up to 16 inches in width in the living room, dining room and hall. The remainder of the home is laid with random width white pine flooring from a sawmill in VT.
