Welcome to 35 Poverty Hollow Road, an idyllic retreat nestled in southwest Newtown with sweeping views of the scenic Red Gate Farm. This beautiful hilltop home offers privacy, timeless charm, and modern updates, making it truly move-in ready. Inside, the open floor plan highlights custom woodwork and built-ins throughout, with a spacious family room featuring wide-plank hardwood floors and two fireplaces with Vermont Castings wood stoves, the perfect backdrop for cozy New England evenings. Walls of glass in the sunroom invite natural light and year-round views of the serene property, while the formal dining room and updated eat-in kitchen with new counters, backsplash, appliances, and under-mount lighting create ideal spaces for both casual living and entertaining. Upstairs, the primary suite is a peaceful retreat with a new skylight in the bath, while additional bedrooms provide flexibility for guests, family, or a home office. Vaulted ceilings add architectural character and volume, enhancing the sense of openness in every room. This home has been extensively improved, offering buyers peace of mind with modern updates. Recent enhancements include a new roof, new septic system, renovated kitchen, refinished hardwood floors, new carpets in the bedrooms, freshly painted interiors including ceilings, and updated smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, outlets, and light switches. Bathrooms have also been refreshed, including a new guest bath and remodeled Jack and Jill bathrooms. Additional upgrades include a freshly painted exterior with replaced window trim, a new driveway, a new chimney and flashing. Set on nearly five picturesque acres, the property features a landscaped side yard and private patio for entertaining or quiet relaxation. The elevated back acreage offers incredible potential, and with selective tree clearing or a simple trail, the sweeping views and full scope of the land can be fully appreciated. Combining location, condition, and acreage, 35 Poverty Hollow Road is a rare Newtown opportunity, only minutes from town or to 84 for easy commutes.
