Welcome to Sugar Hill Farm! This chic, vintage home offers the perfect combination of character and contemporary style having been tastefully renovated and added onto by the previous owner. The floor plan meanders from the front entryway, to Dining and Living rooms, back to the Kitchen featuring a SubZero refrigerator and Forno Galiano 8-burner gas range, Great Room with a stunning fireplace that walks out to an inviting bluestone terrace, then on to another large family room on the first floor (optional 4th bedroom with full bath). The second floor primary is truly a suite; featuring a large, sunny bed chamber with built-ins, an enviable walk in closet with tons of storage and a huge bathroom with double sinks, a large soaking tub and separate walk-in shower. Two more bedrooms, each with their own baths, round out the second floor. All of this sits perfectly on wide open fields punctuated by beautiful stone walls and a classic red barn. This is vintage Connecticut at its best.
