Property Description
Set along scenic Taconic Road in the heart of Salisbury, Connecticut, this beautifully preserved 1880 residence offers a rare blend of history, warmth, and understated elegance. Originally built as the carpenter's workshop for a neighboring estate, the home has been thoughtfully transformed into a distinctive two-bedroom, two-bath retreat spanning 2,349 square feet. Rich in character, the interior showcases antique hardwood floors, a welcoming country kitchen anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, and inviting living spaces that reflect its storied past. An enclosed screened porch with its own wood stove extends the living area, creating a cozy, year-round sanctuary overlooking the surrounding gardens. Outside, a stone patio and curated plantings provide a peaceful setting for entertaining or quiet relaxation. Deeded access to Lake Washinee offers the added luxury of lake living-perfect for summer days on the water and serene seasonal enjoyment. A truly special offering, where historic charm and Litchfield County lifestyle converge.
