This remarkably updated & enhanced period colonial is located in the heart of East Hampton, just steps from the vibrant center village & beautiful Lake Pocotopaug. Built in 1865 during East Hampton's renaissance, it's a focal point of the community's character & history. The current owners lovingly added a 4 bedroom, 3 bay garage addition in 2001, retrofit the gourmet kitchen in 2014, rebuilt a fabulous two story barn in 2017 & added an elegant main level full bath in 2019. Given the vision of the initial architectural design, the home & property has become a true modern marvel linking the past to the present! Features include a modern kitchen complete with Rain Forest Marble counters, custom cabinetry, island & Viking gas oven/range & an extended eat-in area, a formal dining room, living room with gas fireplace, a den which connects to the 3 bay attached garage, new full bath & walks-out to the ground level level composite deck with hot tub as well as main level bedroom. The upper level is completed with four bedrooms serviced by a full bath, an office, terrific balcony sitting room with powder room & the spacious master suite which is comprised of 3 rooms to include a huge dressing room/walk-in, den & sewing room not to mention the master bath. The exterior space abounds with the wrap around front porch, pavered walkways, granite retaining walls, fabulous plantings & yard space & of course the barn with it's own heating/cooling system & 1542 sqft of additional living space. Heated Greenhouse adjacent to garden.
