458 Maple St, Litchfield, CT 06759

This magical c 1740 Litchfield home offers all the charm of an antique while being completely modernized in 2004 under current ownership. Wide board floors, hand hewn beams, large hearth fireplaces. House was taken down to the studs with new insulation, new siding, rebuilt chimney, updated electrical and plumbing. The kitchen was opened up and thoughtfully rebuilt by an owner with a love of history and an appreciation of antique detail. The main floor bedroom has a full bath which also serves as a powder room. The upper level accommodates the 2nd bedroom, a spacious full bath, and a large landing which could be reworked into a 3rd bedroom. The gardens are spectacular, a true labor of love to install and the next owner gets to enjoy all the fruits of this labor. Specimen trees, difficult to source perennials, heirloom roses, arbor with Japanese wisteria, and espalier apple trees that line the driveway. Located on a quiet section of Maple St with level property and just 5 minutes to Bantam and Litchfield centers. 10 minutes to Mohawk MTN skiing. Access to Litchfields town beach on Bantam Lake and close to many land trust trails.
