Lovingly named "Nid D'Alcyon," French for Kingfisher Nest, by the current owner, this truly enchanting home is rich in history. This beautiful four-bedroom antique, dating to circa 1745, is set on one of Sharon's most scenic roads and tells a captivating story of life, travel, and love. Nestled within exquisite gardens and surrounded by a serene pond, mature trees, and perennial plantings, the setting is both peaceful and picturesque. The current owner has lovingly stewarded the property for 37 years, thoughtfully enhancing it while honoring its character. With great care, the home was renovated to maximize natural light-an exceptional quality for an antique-through raised ceilings where possible and thoughtfully designed additions that invite sunlight throughout the day. Improvements include central air conditioning, a full-house generator, and an expansion of the original petite footprint typical of antique homes. A first-floor primary suite with vaulted ceiling and en-suite bath featuring a custom fireplace was added, along with a mudroom, sunroom, and chef's eat-in kitchen. The formal living room offers another fireplace and beautifully crafted built-ins, creating a warm and inviting retreat. Every corner reflects exceptional care, seamlessly blending antique charm with modern comfort. This rare offering also includes a heated Gunite pool and barn, all set on five acres overlooking a dreamy pond.
Set along one of Sharon's most scenic country roads, this inviting property offers a rare blend of country charm, flexible living space, and timeless Litchfield County appeal. Anchored by a 1948 main residence and complemented by an original guest cottage and substantial barn, the offering presents a versatile compound ideal for weekend living or full-time retreat. The main house is warm and welcoming, with four bedrooms and three baths, thoughtfully arranged to accommodate both gathering and privacy. The first-floor primary suite allows for easy, single-level living, while the open floor plan creates a natural flow between kitchen, dining, and living spaces. At the heart of the home, a generously sized kitchen island invites conversation and casual entertaining. A screened-in porch extends the living space outdoors, offering a peaceful setting for summer evenings, while a wood-burning fireplace adds a sense of comfort and tradition during cooler months. Just beyond, a classic barn provides two-car parking and ample additional space for storage, workshop use, or creative pursuits. The separate guest cottage, dating to the 1940s, remains a true time capsule-complete with three bedrooms, a full bath, kitchen, and a charming stone wood-burning fireplace. Preserved in its original condition, it offers a unique opportunity for restoration or continued use as a rustic retreat for guests.
Effortless elegance on seven acres directly across from protected conservation land. A dappled willow hedge and a classic pea stone driveway lead to this fully reimagined four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath retreat. Interiors are by Ellsworth Home, the New York and New England design studio behind the 2024 renovation - featured recently in Litchfield Magazine. Classic mouldings, high ceilings, and oversized windows carry through the first floor. The 13-foot kitchen island, AGA gas range, custom hood, and Bosch dishwasher make it a kitchen built for families who cook and entertain. It opens directly to a den with a soapstone gas fireplace and, beyond it, an east-facing screened porch. At the front of the house, a cozy living room - anchored by a brick wood-burning fireplace - sets an entirely different mood, while the dining room offers more traditional, sit-down entertaining. The main-level primary suite allows for the ease of one-floor living; upstairs, three more bedrooms include a second en-suite plus a third full bath. An approved pool site, attached two-car garage, and full unfinished basement leave room to grow into the property on your own timeline. Privacy reigns at the back of the property, where an old stone wall fades into the tree line and the woods take over.
