Honoring the historical architecture of New England but with modern elements to meet the needs of family living today is this newly-built Greek Revival. Nestled on 11+ private acres on the Litchfield-Washington border this elegant yet relaxed sun-filled home has glorious views of the surrounding hills and superbly-crafted period details throughout. The first floor has 10-foot ceilings, large energy-efficient trimmed windows, and extra-high wainscoting that extends throughout. The open, flowing layout of the main floor has a kitchen at the core, which is designed for both culinary creativity and lively family gatherings. Conjoining the kitchen space is a dining area, a spacious family room, and glass doors to the outside deck. A separate office, a half-bath and a generous mudroom/pantry with access to the garage completes the first floor. Upstairs are four bedrooms each with ensuite bathrooms, a large loft area, and a laundry room off the hallway. Built for life in the country, this home has a full walkout basement with numerous windows and a doorway that opens to a level backyard that can easily accommodate a pool. A large front and back yard ringed by trees complete this exceptional setting.
