Beautifully set along the banks of the Pomperaug River, this timeless ca1782 Colonial is truly exceptional and set in the White Oak section of Southbury. Rich in period charm and thoughtfully updated for modern living. The home showcases wide-board wood floors, exposed beams, built-in cupboards, raised wood paneling and 12 over 12 windows that highlight its authentic character. The remodeled kitchen and two updated baths blend seamlessly with the original architectural details, preserving the integrity of the home while enhancing everyday comfort. Numerous recent improvements include a new roof, freshly painted exterior, extensive electrical upgrades, a new HVAC system, and land cleared behind the house that opens to the river. The outbuildings add remarkable versatility: a barn with garage space, a lean-to ideal for firewood or land-care equipment, and, at the rear of the property, a heated barn/garage accommodating up to eight cars-perfect for collectors or hobbyists. The grounds also feature an in-ground pool and tennis court awaiting refurbishment, offering the opportunity to restore them to their full potential. A rare chance to own a distinguished historic home with exceptional land and riverfront setting in convenient location.
