32 Steep Hill Road
Weston, Connecticut

Description:

A RARE property. The 28- year owners lovingly restored their 18th century antique and expanded it to 6,050 SF of modern comfort on its 4 acres including a 11/4 ac. pond. Albeit, the renovation of the property's antique 1,100 SF, 2 BR continually-rented cottage may be the financial coup for 42% marginal tax bracket (Fed+CT) buyers who assume a 6.25%, 80% ($2,080,000 of 2.6M asking) 30 yr. fixed mortgage. The rent, presently $30,000/yr., and tax advantaged deductions will contribute funds that amortize $915,000 of the 2.080M. Accordingly, the effective purchase price could be $1,685,000. High-quality finishes aside, consider the setting: brook-fed pond for large-mouth-bass anglers and visiting egrets; stunning fall foliage surrounding the pond; 450 ft. long, bleached-stone, maple tree-lined driveway to the main house; just a 2-minute drive to the Weston Town Center and K-12 school campus; 150 SF of veggie-intensive raised beds along with wild blackberries, and Concord grapes where you meander; pool site plans rendered and readied for the buyer; oversized-windows and 3rd floor balcony offering sweeping views; and a massive front lawn for that Great Tent celebration. Inside, a 2025-new heating system slashes the gas bill; a home office space w/ fireplace has its own private entrance; and the former, acclaimed NYC chef/owner's professionally equipped kitchen is central to the home's 5 entertaining areas, while a 600 SF bonus room with its own full kitchen invites countless uses.
