3 Riley Creek Trail
New Milford, Connecticut

Description:

Thoughtfully designed and full of rustic charm, this three-bedroom home is tucked away on 2+ acres between New Preston and Kent and is close to everything, yet wonderfully removed. Fine craftsmanship is evident at every turn: exposed post-and-beam framing, wide-board floors that warm with age, handsome fieldstone stonework, and custom cabinetry throughout lend the home an authenticity that's hard to replicate. The first floor is anchored by a chef's kitchen outfitted with a soapstone farmhouse sink, Viking range, and a large island with seating - a natural gathering place for family and friends. The space opens into a living and dining area with woodstove, and French doors lead out to a covered porch and wraparound deck that looks out over a sweeping open meadow and the garden below. Back inside, a cozy den with a fireplace invites quiet evenings, while a light-filled room could serve comfortably as a home office. Upstairs, a spacious primary bedroom offers a private bath, with two additional bedrooms sharing a hall bath. The property rounds out with a detached 500+ square foot workshop, equally suited as an artist's studio or private office, along with a garden shed and basketball court. A rare offering where craft, character, and countryside come together.
