This stylish one-story home sits in the sky atop one of the highest hills in Litchfield. On a quiet rural road surrounded by estates and just over a mile from the Litchfield Green, it boasts spectacular sunset views. Its rooms are flooded with light, both sun and moon, and the ample French doors speak to how the outside of this home is so much a part of the inside. Upon entering this U-shaped house, you pass through the brick-floored sunroom which opens to the living room with fireplace, vaulted ceiling and clerestory windows. To the right is the library, to the left the formal dining room, eat-in kitchen and office/playroom. Two ensuite bedrooms occupy the right wing, one master, one guest, both with walk-in closets, while the left wing hosts two mirror-image guest rooms and full bath. In between these wings lies the heart of this house, the brick courtyard, overlooking a large open meadow and pergola. An attached garage, freestanding two-car garage, storage barn, mature perennial plantings and an apple tree complete its footprint. The best of both town and country and the perfect retreat!
