West Cornwall, CT, is the quintessential New England village. Anchored by the historic Covered Bridge crossing the Housatonic River, the charming hamlet is defined by its beautifully preserved 19th-century architecture.Tucked away on a quiet dead-end road running parallel to the water, you will find this diamond in the rough set on 2.29 scenic acres. The three bedroom home has been treasured by the same family for 50 years, the yard offers lovely views of the river just across the street and hillside beyond. An inviting enclosed porch welcomes you-a perfect spot to drop your shoes or enjoy a relaxed summer meal. Inside, the main level features a living room, kitchen, and dining area warmed by a cozy wood stove. A convenient rear utility space houses the laundry, offers a loo, and provides access to the full basement. Upstairs, you will find a generous full bathroom and three comfortable bedrooms. A walk-up staircase leads to a spacious full attic, which the family previously utilized as an additional bedroom. Outside, a three-level antique barn serves as a two-car garage and offers endless potential for a workshop or studio. Just up the stone steps sits a former chicken coop, waiting for a new flock.Built in 1849, the home is fully functioning and currently occupied, presenting a wonderful canvas for someone ready to bring their own vision and TLC.
