Property Description
Own a piece of American history in historic Newtown, CT. The Benjamin Curtiss house c. 1747, built by one of Newtown's Founding Fathers, located in Sandy Hook, is a classic, three-story, center-chimney colonial, whose high ceilings, spacious rooms featuring beautifully handcrafted wainscoted woodwork, reflect the status of its original owner. The home features 4B with 3.5 baths and boasts seven fireplaces! Since 2022, the house has been tastefully improved by the current owners, who worked with the noted Interior Designer, Schuyler Samperton. Most notable is the third floor conversion of a stunning primary bedroom suite and study. Adorned by mature landscaping, stone walls, formal English gardens, the property was featured by the Newtown Historical Society's "Home and Garden Tour" (2018). An oasis of natural beauty has views of the Pootatuck River and Lake Zoar.The home's historic character has been successively safeguarded by its owners with a mindful curator's attention to detail; a chef's kitchen, updated baths, bedroom configurations, enhance the modern living space, yet preserving the home's authentic 18th Century provenance. An absolute must-see diamond in Sandy Hook!
