CT home built before the Revolutionary War listed for $2.95M

The four-bedroom, three-and-a-half bathroom home underwent major renovations from 2015 to 2016 to update it while maintaining its historic features, including its pine-paneled walls and original chimneys. The renovation team included Hadlyme-based architectural firm HP Broom Housewright, according to the listing, as well as Stonington-based landscape architect Christopher Thorp and interior designer Richard Keith Langham. Langham’s past clients include Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis who one described him as having a “sorcerer’s eye,” according to Langham’s website.

Co-listing agent Margaret Muir said the renovation and restoration team helped maintain the home’s New England charm while bringing it into modernity.

“They brought the comfort level to today, while being mindful of the historical importance,” Muir said. 

Some of these updates included expanding the small closet space and adding a walk-in closet. A whole house generator, proper insulation and surround sound system were also installed in the home. The barn on the 11.9-acre property also underwent major renovations, and it now serves as a space for an antique car, foosball table and lofted storage area. There is also a projector and screen in the space, creating an at-home theater. A firepit and outdoor seating are outside of the barn and near the back deck, according to the listing.

Another addition to the house from the renovation project was the updated basement. Four built-in bunk beds were added, as well as a wine cellar. The home’s 3,822 square feet of living space include a butcher’s pantry attached to an eat-in kitchen, which overlooks the back patio area. The kitchen has a dining table that seats six and an island that seats two. 

Down the hall from the kitchen is a large great room, which features 30-foot ceilings with antique wood beams. The floor-to-ceiling fireplace is just one of six in the entire house. The great room has a rustic feel that is offset by large windows on three sides.
