This remarkably preserved colonial home was built by John Rodgers circa 1765 and is on the National Register of Historical Houses. Located on CT scenic and historic route 146, the home was renovated and remodeled in 2020 including new appliances, roof, finished attic, electrical, plumbing, forced air heating and A/C, water treatment, and insulation - marrying 21st Century comfort with 18th Century charm. Exposed chestnut beams, original plaster walls, wood-burning granite fireplaces, and a working beehive oven all add to the timeless character of the John Rodgers house. The property includes a 19th Century barn and garage with hand-hewn beams that has been structurally reinforced as well as a fire pit overlooking a marsh and the Long Island Sound. The lot is surrounded by public land trust filled with hiking trails and is conveniently located to Stony Creek village, Rt 95 access, shopping, boating, swimming, fishing, and more. This unique opportunity really must be experienced to be fully appreciated, words do not do it justice. Sellers are looking for highest and best by 8pm 1/30
