Why we have a crush on this property
A one-bedroom cottage in the hills of Connecticut sounds like a solid quarantine purchase, doesn’t it? Just two hours outside of New York City, this quaint little home for sale in Litchfield County tempts buyers with charming details inside and out.
Built in 1946 on a lush hillside, the Cape-style home has been recently renovated. An updated kitchen offers new cabinets, countertops, and fixtures, plus an additional pantry and laundry room nearby. The sole bedroom, meanwhile, flaunts vaulted ceilings and a sliding glass door to the patio, while the living room receives plenty of light from an abundance of windows. A small set of stairs leads to a spacious loft, too, which could double as a second bedroom.
Outside, the 0.3 acre lot makes best use of space with a bluestone patio, a fenced-in backyard, and a garden filled with plants native to Connecticut, including bleeding hearts, rhododendrons, purple cone flowers, honeysuckle, and more. There’s plenty of room for al fresco dining, sunbathing, garden-tending, and more.
The country cottage is listed for $295,000 by Jonathan Banks with William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty.
