Property Details

Overview

Rarely does such an opportunity present itself in one of the most sought-after locations in Litchfield County, bucolic Cornwall, CT’s Cream Hill Lake region. This magical 1921 center stair colonial is a mere one hundred and one years old, and is just steps to Cream Hill Lake and its public / private beach club. The house is a sprawling five bedroom, three and a half bath home well loved by the same family for more than forty years. A massive field stone fireplace anchors the living room, and the rambling semi open floor plan creates innumerable moments for quiet places to sit and sip a drink or read a book. The guest wing addition doubles as a second primary suite or studio office and has views of the Cream Hill Valley facing south. Mature gardens, including a massive natural stone garden of CT granite, and dozens of mature trees and shrubs encouraged over the generations make each day a moment to observe nature in all its glory. There is an ample barn, storage for four cars, and a cottage on the upper property which if restored would create an adorable guest house, like something out of an English fairy tale. There is a certified pool site.
