10/19/2023 05:15 AMWhat’s it like to live in a historical home with all its charm and essence? Here’s a Killingworth home that allows that glimpse back in time.
This lovely antique home, built in 1836, was completely renovated in 1978. Insulation was added throughout, the center chimney and fireplaces rebuilt, the kitchen updated, concrete floor poured in the basement, and a gunite pool added just to name a few.
The property has a barn with a 700-square-foot artist studio that is heated and air-conditioned — valuable space that could make a great workshop for any hobby or could even be converted into living space with the town’s approval.
Set on almost 21 acres, this home also offers stunning views of the fields, forests, and all the wildlife that flourish on the property. Perennial beds, stonewalls, and beautiful trees are intermixed in a pleasing way with the buildings on the property, including the 1,848-square-foot Colonial farmhouse, the detached two-car garage, the corn crib, the oversized two-story barn, and even the old outhouse! The level fields offer so much potential for animals and crops and morning walks with the dogs. Approximately 11.9 forested acres, located beyond the stonewall dividing the fields from the forest, is protected by a conservation easement with the Regional Water Authority — thereby preserving the natural beauty, creating habitat for wildlife, and protecting the watershed.
This home is being offered for sale by Coldwell Banker Realty for $725,000. For more information or a showing, contact Shelly Cumpstone at 860-391-2747.
