A One-of-a-Kind Connecticut Estate: "Chestnut Farm" Having changed hands just three times in over two centuries, Chestnut Farm is not just a home-it's a legacy waiting to continue. Discover the rare opportunity to own this breathtaking estate, where timeless charm and modern refinement make every day extraordinary. Step into the unparalleled charm of Chestnut Farm, a Circa 1830s Federal Colonial masterpiece that seamlessly marries historic elegance with modern luxury. Once owned by Samuel Banks, this one-of-a-kind estate has been masterfully reimagined and completely modernized in 2013 to create a retreat where every day feels like a vacation. From the moment you enter the inviting entryway, you're embraced by a sense of history and hospitality. The heart of the home-a kitchen-great-room with oyster-quartz countertops, iridescent tilework, stainless steel appliances, and a vintage pub-style bar-combines style and functionality, making it perfect for entertaining or unwinding. The media area, framed by exposed beams and a stately stone fireplace, flows effortlessly to a newly built sprawling TimberTech deck and charming stone terraces. The estate offers four fireplaces, a tranquil study-bedroom, and formal living and dining rooms designed for gatherings of any scale. The luxurious primary bedroom boasts 15-foot rustic tray ceilings, a spa-inspired bath, and vintage touches that echo timeless elegance. Original wood beams prominently featured throughout the home pay homage to its storied past, while thoughtful updates create an elevated blend of old and new. Additional spacious bedrooms and hardwood floors throughout the 4,500+ sq. ft. home exude warmth and character. The custom-built gym in the basement provides a dedicated space for wellness and fitness, blending seamlessly with the home's modern amenities. Beyond the main home, the ultra-stylish 900+ sq. ft. ADU guest apartment above the three-car carriage barn provides a modern, private retreat for visitors. The newly renovated in-ground pool, surrounded by bluestone patio, stone fire pit, and pool house with cabana loft, transforms summer days into unforgettable experiences. The meticulously restored 1700s post-and-beam barn serves as an alluring focal point of the 7.05-acre estate, which features sprawling meadows, four varieties of fruiting trees in a picturesque back orchard, and thoughtfully designed landscaping that evokes the tranquility of a countryside escape. The centerpiece of Chestnut Farm is the majestic 230-year-old grand sugar maple.
