The Case House offers a rare opportunity to own one of Barkhamsted's most distinctive historic homes. Nestled in beautiful Barkhamsted, with its highly regarded schools and low property taxes, this remarkable home has long been associated with one of the town's oldest families. Rich in character and thoughtfully maintained, it blends the craftsmanship of early New England with the warmth and comfort of everyday living. Original wide-plank floors, hand-hewn beams, raised-panel doors, and hand-forged hardware showcase the home's enduring character. The open-hearth kitchen, anchored by its original beehive oven, remains the heart of the home, while the spacious living and dining rooms provide inviting spaces for gathering with family and friends. Three bedrooms and one-and-one-half baths offer comfortable everyday living while preserving the home's historic character. The full walk-up attic is home to an original antique loom and other period artifacts that offer a connection to the property's past. Locally known as the "1759 House," The Case House continues to inspire curiosity about its rich history. Beyond the residence, a classic two-storey horse barn, detached three-car garage with an expansive workshop, garden shed, pump house, and tractor shed create a remarkably complete New England homestead. Homeowners recommend visitors do not back out of driveway onto Gavitt Rd (Rte 219) as there can be visibility issues around the hill/curve of the road.
