From the Zillow listing:

 

Imagine driving down a quiet dirt lane, so secret and secluded that even longtime locals barely know it exists. As you turn the corner, you’re greeted by a charming 1887 antique home and barn, nestled among lush woodlands and bordered by the serene Aspetuck River. The sound of the river flowing in the background becomes the soundtrack to your days, offering peace and tranquility at every turn. Picture yourself stepping onto the traditional front porch, coffee in hand, as the morning sun filters through the trees. Inside, the home is a celebration of history and craftsmanship, with rustic post-and-beam construction dating back to the 1800s and stunning quarter-sawn oak flooring. Large built-in bookcases invite you to fill them with stories, just as this home is ready to become a part of yours. But here’s the magic-this retreat is just a short walk from downtown. Stroll into town for an ice cream cone, explore local shops, or watch the annual parade pass by. It’s the perfect blend of peaceful seclusion and small-town charm. The property itself feels like a private park, with nature at every turn. The Aspetuck River offers scenic views and calming moments, right in your backyard. It’s a space to slow down, live simply, and reconnect with the things that matter most. This is more than a home-it’s an opportunity to embrace a lifestyle of balance and harmony, tucked away in your own little slice of paradise. Come and see how this hidden gem can be yours!
