84 Roast Meat Hill Rd, Killingworth, CT 06419

The warmth and character of this beautifully preserved circa 1860 antique home, located on one of Killingworth's most storied roads, will surprise and please you! Set on a picturesque and level 2-acre lot, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath farmhouse was tastefully expanded by the master craftsman Drexel Frye in the late 80's, who perfectly blended historic charm with comfort that is still appreciated in 2025. Inside, you'll find resilient hardwood floors-some wide board tulip flooring, others random width-adding timeless character while obviously withstanding the test of time! Antique brass doorknobs, original rippled glass, and period touches can be found throughout. The inviting living room features a paneled wall surrounding a comfy gas fireplace, while the dining room is bathed in natural light from a lovely south-facing bay window. The cozy den, complete with built-in bookcases and another bay window, makes an ideal reading nook or TV room. The main level also boasts a bright and airy kitchen with a large window overlooking the inviting deck, a spacious mudroom, laundry area, and a convenient half bath. A large home office offers space for remote work. Spoil yourself with the spacious first-floor primary with high ceilings, crown molding, full bath and walk-in closet. Upstairs, you will find two additional bedrooms and a shared full bath. The eye-catching windows that make this home so unique-the two arched ones in one room and 3 smaller eyebrow ones-add charm and natural light. The full, walk-out basement, a hidden treasure, offers abundant storage and a perfect spot for a workshop. Beautiful stonewalls, mature trees, and gardens surround the home. The post and beam barn, dating back to 1800 (per town records) is ideal for storage or a studio. Recent upgrades include a new roof, new boiler, and an updated electrical panel, bringing peace of mind and modern efficiency to this lovely historic home.
