Salisbury Connecticut

Description:

Introducing: Clara.The meandering river road sets the stage for this stunning vintage country farmhouse.The drive to the house is almost as special as the house itself, the epitome of country living, the gravel road is speckled with daffodils, lovely farmhouses, views of the river and hills peeking out from the other side of the Housatonic. Once the main residence of the grand Longmeadow Farm, now her own 10 acre sanctuary. This home is ready for the antique lover who is seeking that special, once in a lifetime home, that can bring her back to her glory. The porch pulls you into the house, both wide & spacious. It wraps around the house to a side area that can be left open for fresh air or closed so it can be used into some of the chiller months. When you enter the house you are struck by the grace and elegance of the layout. The center hallway stairs flank the house, with two large rooms to either side. The room to the left includes built-in bookcases, a wood burning fireplace & large window with a built-in bench seat. The room to the right of the stairs includes additional built-in shelves. The rooms are both gracious in size, with hardwood floors. The kitchen provides a simple,but charming take on the country kitchen, with built in storage and rustic charm. The room beyond, provides yet another area to curl up by the fire, with a full bath attached. The dining room beckons for friends and loved ones to gather with ample space for a large table.
