Extraordinary restoration of a historic barn built in 1895. Artifacts from its original use as a stable were lovingly restored and re-imagined to give the interior all the richness and character of turn-of-the-century craftsmanship. The open floor plan inspires relaxed country living with stylish furnishings against a chic, rustic interior - a welcoming and safe haven. The foyer invites guests through vintage iron gates to the dining area which opens out through French doors to an expansive 16x61 mahogany deck. To the left the spacious living room with stone fireplace serves as the main gathering place and connects to the deck through more French doors. To the right the kitchen, a chef's delight, has beautiful granite counter-tops and an onyx-topped center island. A mudroom/pantry and half-bath complete the first floor. On the second floor a catwalk looking down on the living area connects two immense bedrooms with exposed beams, cathedral ceilings and luxurious en-suite baths. A serpentine stone wall opposite the entry leads to a network of old horse and carriage roads reflecting a favorite Gilded Age past-time. Today the roads are perfect for jogging. The barn is nestled in Middlebury's historic and beautiful estate area, which inspires strolling or cycling with glorious views of Lake Quassapaug. Fine dining and shopping abound in the area, on the edge of Litchfield County - I-84 is only ten minutes away, 1.5 hours from Manhattan. Rental term: 4-6 month minimum to one year. Lease, references.
