Calling all artists and antique lovers! This is a one of a kind property with an antique home and a barn workshop. The 2.8 acre parcel has the historic 1805 Antique home which was the house of the original toll keeper for the Washington-Woodbury Turnpike (now Rte 47). There are 2 bedrooms but the house can function as a 3 BR with 3 working fireplaces and gorgeous gleaming wide board chestnut floors. The house has been very well maintained with a newer heating system, well tank & oil tanks. There is radiant heat on the main floor & a walkup attic. The home retains all of the antique character and charm it was built with. The house has an eat in kitchen adjacent to the living room with wbfpl. Also adjacent to the LR is a den with a wood stove, and the dining room with the original antique kitchen cooking fireplace. Upstairs are two bedrooms, a full bathroom and a large additional room used as an office and laundry, which could easily be converted into a master BR suite. The woodworker's dream barn workshop would also make a wonderful artist's studio, gum, hobby space, or use your imagination. There are beautiful perennial gardens and old stone walls. The workshop truly is a woodworker's dream. The prior owner (who built the shop) was well known in Woodbury, the antiques capital of CT, as the person to bring antiques needing authentic repairs or special attention. The current owner built the kitchen cabinetry and countertops in this workshop. The property has been very well maintained, but it is old with some older features, so this is an as-is sale. Seller will entertain offers for the special woodworking equipment in the barn/workshop and for the furnishings in the house, as well as for some of the ceramic artwork found on the grounds. The Buyers will agree to an easement in the deed in favor of the adjacent property being sold by the Seller for access to the shared driveway. The buyer will also receive an easement giving access over the shared driveway for vehicular access to the barn. It makes sense when you see it at a showing!
