Description
The Marsh-Whitlock House, built in 1738, is the oldest recorded home in Warren, CT, located in the heart of the Litchfield Hills. This historic Saltbox sits on 33 serene acres with a pond and offers old-world charm along with modern amenities. The main house boasts many historic details, including four enchanting fireplaces (one of which is a cooking fireplace with a beehive oven), stunning broad floorboards and paneling, and exposed hand-hewn beams. The main level of the home features an open kitchen and dining with vaulted ceiling that leads to a lovely sitting area and screen-in porch that overlooks the backyard and pond. Additionally, there is a formal dining room, a living room with rich paneling, a main-level ensuite bedroom, and an additional bedroom. The upper level includes two light-filled bedrooms and a loft area. The property includes manicured gardens, a fruit orchard, and meandering walking paths through the forestland. There is also a large detached barn currently used for woodworking, gardening, and crafts that opens to a stone patio with a pergola, as well as a luxurious modern sauna overlooking the pond. A proposed pool site, approved in the past, is located near an existing tennis court that is in need of repair. Relax outside in Adirondack chairs draped with cozy blankets next to a wood-burning fire pit, on the screened-in porch overlooking the undisturbed property, or on the covered stone patio overlooking this magical setting.
