Tucked into 1.76 wooded acres in the heart of Washington, Connecticut, 20 N Sawyer Hill Rd is a hillside retreat made for life outside. Known to guests as the House on the Hill, the main home offers 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths, and cozy doesn't do it justice. Gather around the wood-burning fireplace on cool evenings as the woods settle in around you. Bluestone walkways, and patio wrap the front of the home, so everyday living spills outdoors. Just steps away, Tiny House Magic is a studio cottage with a full kitchen, a full bath, and a walk-out bluestone patio surrounded by nature. It's perfect for guests, a home office, or a creative escape. Enjoy all that Washington offers: Steep Rock Preserve, Lake Waramaug, the shops of Washington Depot, and the quiet, storied beauty that draws people to this corner of Litchfield County. This is home for the next owner, or a home away from home for everyone drawn to Washington: families visiting students at the area's boarding schools, fans who come to see the town said to have inspired Gilmore Girls' Stars Hollow, and leaf-peepers chasing Litchfield County's fall foliage. Currently operated as a short-term rental. Buyer to verify all uses with the Town of Washington.
