Property Description
A LEGENDARY GUILFORD ESTATE-where extraordinary history, artistry, architecture, & modern luxury converge. One of New England's most exceptional restorations, the Pitkin House is a remarkable 18th-century treasure set privately on nearly 4 acres of mature trees, stone walls, manicured lawns, enchanting gardens, & extraordinary recreational amenities. Originally constructed in East Hartford, the principal 1764 residence incorporates a circa-1660 ell & was meticulously dismantled & reassembled at this coveted Guilford setting in 1955. Recognized on the National Register of Historic Places, this remarkable property has been lovingly transformed for today's lifestyle while preserving its irreplaceable character & craftsmanship. Inside, more than 5,500sf unfolds across three levels w/ an exceptional collection of architectural details, including original wide-plank floors, massive hand-hewn beams, exquisite paneling, period millwork, & 8 fireplaces. The sophisticated kitchen blends custom cabinetry, granite countertops, center island, double ovens, skylights, breakfast area, built-in hutches, & butler's pantry. Formal dining & living rooms provide elegant settings for entertaining, while the extraordinary family room features 18-inch-wide original hemlock floorboards, monumental beams, French doors to the grounds, & a spectacular copper-hooded fireplace. Perhaps the home's most magical spaces are the garden room & 440sf octagonal solarium. ***CONTINUED***
