This beautifully renovated 1800 colonial has been home to many historically relevant Litchfield County families. Samuel Forbes, local entrepreneur, built the home for his daughter Abigail and her husband, John Adam, who both were instrumental in the family business of iron forges. Within its long history it was said to be an inn, saloon, boarding house, post office and part of the underground railroad. Detailed attention mixed with love made this renovation by its current owners' sheer perfection. Wonderful features include exposed beams, detailed moldings, built-in cupboards and bookshelves, horizontal board, crown and chair moldings, raised paneling, wide board wood floors and French doors. Fireplaces adorn the formal living and dining rooms, family room, sitting room and primary bedroom. The upper-level nicely sized primary suite includes full bath and dressing room. Two additional bedrooms separated by sitting room and a full bath are also on that level. The fourth bedroom is conveniently located on the main level with full bath next to it. Thoughtful aesthetic design has enhanced the historic details and gives this home the "Wow" factor. The grounds have a barn, perennial gardens, level lawn, pond, and of course - a white picket fence. This is your chance to own an amazing piece of history!
