Jen and I are contemplating selling our home to purchase this Colonial home in Thomaston, CT built in 1922. The house sits on 3.5 acres of hilly property and boasts only 1200+ square feet of living space but has two front porches that could easily be converted into additional living space. The porches are both 20X10 on so you could add another 800 square feet, making this a comfortable 2,000+ square foot home as opposed to the 890 square feet we live in today. The house has 3 bedrooms, and outdated kitchen, 1 1/2 baths both outdated but the full bath does have a claw foot tub and an old pedestal sink worth keeping.
Thomaston is a cute little town in the Litchfield hills of Connecticut. This house is situated just off Route 254 near the town's center. It would mean a 15 mile longer commute for us both but the asking price is $192,000. There is no garage but it does have a 2 stall barn on the property. The only foreseeable problem is the paddock is on a steep hill, making turnouts for the horses in the winter problematic. Probably so much that Jen wouldn't consider retiring her pony Feather Blue there but leaving her in Mill brook, NY for the time being. We are weighing our options and talking with our realtor to see if its all worth it or not. We'll keep everyone posted on this new development!!!
