Description

Just 90 minutes from NYC, nestled away off a serene country road, you'll discover a home like no other. The John Wilcox Home, a unique blend of historical charm and modern convenience, was originally built in 1738 in Middletown, CT. In 1990, this exquisite residence was carefully tagged, dismantled, relocated, and meticulously restored in the picturesque town of Newtown. The home retains its historic essence with original hand-hewn beams, chestnut floors, and 4 inviting fireplaces, while also offering the benefits of contemporary updates. It sits on a new foundation and features a 2-car garage, updated mechanicals, electric, plumbing, central air, and central vacuum. The eat-in kitchen is a culinary delight with a 7 ft fireplace and beehive oven, preserving its historic appeal. The family room, with its cozy fireplace and custom built-in cabinetry, offers a welcoming space for relaxation. The living room, adjacent to the formal dining room, also features a fireplace and ample room for entertaining guests. Upstairs, the spacious primary bedroom includes a fireplace and en-suite bath, providing a private retreat. 2 additional bedrooms share a hall bath, while the fourth bedroom, with its own bathroom, is situated in a separate wing of the home for added privacy. Outside, the property is adorned with a beautiful slate patio, charming stone walls, and lush gardens, creating an inviting outdoor oasis. This exceptional home perfectly marries historical allure with modern amenities.
