A RARE property. The twenty-eight year owners lovingly restored their eighteenth century antique and expanded it to six thousand fifty square feet of modern comfort on its four acres including a one and one-fourth acre pond. Albeit, the renovation of the property's antique one thousand one hundred square feet, two bedroom continually-rented cottage may be the financial coup for forty-two percent marginal tax bracket (Federal plus Connecticut) buyers who assume a six point twenty-five percent, eighty percent (two million eighty thousand dollars of two point six million asking) thirty year fixed mortgage. The rent, presently thirty thousand dollars per year, and tax advantaged deductions will contribute funds that amortize nine hundred fifteen thousand dollars of the two million eighty thousand. Accordingly, the effective purchase price could be one million six hundred eighty-five thousand dollars. High-quality finishes aside, consider the setting: brook-fed pond for large-mouth-bass anglers and visiting egrets; stunning fall foliage surrounding the pond; four hundred fifty foot long, bleached-stone, maple tree-lined driveway to the main house; just a two-minute drive to the Weston Town Center and kindergarten through twelfth grade school campus; one hundred fifty square feet of veggie-intensive raised beds along with wild blackberries and Concord grapes where you meander; pool site plans rendered and readied for the buyer; oversized windows and third floor balcony offering sweeping views; and a massive front lawn for that Great Tent celebration. Inside, a twenty twenty-five new heating system slashes the gas bill; a home office space with fireplace has its own private entrance; and the former acclaimed New York City chef/owner's professionally equipped kitchen is central to the home's five entertaining areas, while a six hundred square feet bonus room with its own full kitchen invites countless uses.
