One of the Most Unique & Eclectic Homes in Connecticut! Originally built as a barn in 1750, this expansive and delightfully quirky home is truly one-of-a-kind. From the moment you step inside, you'll be captivated by its whimsical character; starting with the once fully functional cement mixer that has been creatively repurposed as a fireplace with pellet stove. Beyond this conversation piece is a cozy sitting area with fireplace, leading to a serene enclosed porch that overlooks the private in-ground lap pool (8x60) surrounded by lush gardens. The dramatic two-story wood beamed living room is accented by a loft that looks down over the space, adding architectural intrigue. Throughout the home, you'll find an array of alcoves, balconies, lofts, nooks, and crannies-each offering unique charm and functionality. Multiple fireplaces, custom built-in lighting, and intricate architectural details-including stained glass windows-make every corner of this home feel like a discovery. The versatile floorplan includes a private primary suite with steam shower and access to balcony. Adjacent office area leading to a loft with half bath and second stairway. A separate suite of additional bedrooms, each on its own level, sharing a bath and a fireplace in the sitting room. Numerous flexible spaces for bedrooms, offices, studios, or quiet retreats. The peaceful setting enjoys tranquil views over a pond surrounded by mature trees and gardens; offering a true sense of privacy and serenity. Full basement with massive storage, 2 car garage under the house. This property is known as the Jacques Miller House after the original owner and designer. See attachments for the write up from the book 'Amazing America' by Jane & Michael Stern with published history of the house construction. The possibilities are simply endless. Whether you're an artist, entertainer, or simply someone who appreciates bold design and individuality, this home is a rare find that invites imagination and creativity. See floorplan in attachments.
