A rare blend of historic New England character, sophisticated style and exceptional outdoor living, 24 Old Good Hill Road is anything but ordinary. Dating to 1829 and set on approximately 2.55 beautifully landscaped acres, this distinctive home has been thoughtfully updated while preserving the warmth and architectural details that give it its soul. Inside, the feeling is timeless and collected-reminiscent of a Ralph Lauren country house-with rich character, built-in bookcases, two impressive stone fireplaces, including one with a built-in wood stove, and inviting spaces designed to be lived in and enjoyed. Outside, decades of established landscaping create a private retreat of mature trees, perennial gardens and multiple patios for dining, entertaining and relaxing. A built-in swimming pool becomes the centerpiece of summer living, surrounded by the privacy and beauty of the grounds. A former barn site also presents an intriguing opportunity for a future garage or accessory structure, subject to municipal approvals. This is the real thing-not a reproduction, but an authentic Connecticut home that has evolved beautifully for nearly two centuries. Historic without feeling like a museum, updated without losing its soul. From quiet mornings among the gardens to summer afternoons by the pool and evenings gathered around the fire, this is a home with a remarkable sense of place-private, welcoming and designed to be enjoyed in every season.
