Some homes are built. This one was crafted.Hand-laid fieldstone construction, old-world masonry, and timeless character define this casual, livable Post-War/Mid-Century Traditional - a home the land itself seems to have produced. Straddling New Fairfield and Sherman, this 4-bedroom, 2-bath retreat sits on 2.24 private acres with over 2,800 square feet of comfortable living space. Two fieldstone wood-burning fireplaces - one on each level - anchor the home with warmth and authenticity. A sun-drenched den overlooks the rolling countryside with custom exterior lighting. Walk-in cedar closet in the attic adds fragrant, practical storage. New roof 2021, brand-new water heater, and updated kitchen plumbing fixtures. Generator connection included. Recent septic inspection confirms the system is functioning beautifully. Outside, a 500 sq. ft. bluestone patio, front and back porches, and grounds bursting with mature perennials create an outdoor living experience that's simply unmatched. The heated 2-car garage - with a 14-foot built-in workbench, oversized shelving, and attic storage - is a serious workshop dream. The detached studio offers potential as a guest suite or in-law apartment, subject to town approval. Straddling two towns earns a rare dual perk: beach access on Candlewood Lake through both New Fairfield and Sherman. Minutes from the NY line, Routes 22 and 684, and Metro North for NYC commutes. Two towns. 2.24 acres. Two fireplaces. One seriously special property.
