40 Bridle Trail – Back on with a new price! (SOLD)

Friday, October 11, 2013

For the first time in a little more than 20 years. this house is on the market.  Sitting on about two acres, almost knowing how fabulous it is, 40 Bridle Trail is looking for a new owner who will love it as much as the current owners do (or at least is seems they have loved it)!  From the front door to the garage doors, it’s one of those true Connecticut colonials that we both immediately responded to. A little quirky, a lot of space and, yes I will use the word again – patina. Five bedrooms, four and a half baths, beautiful hardwood and slate floors, and lots of something that’s hard to find…a great vibe!  Asking $2,595,000.  Offered through Alice May Orr at Kelly Associates.

40 Bridle Trail offers privacy, property and a gardening opportunity not for the faint of heart!

Big, and beautiful, and so many possibilities here!

Big, and beautiful. So many windows over looking the garden and property.

Garden paths and hedges are perfect for this property.  Love this example of what one can do.

Just over two acres, boarders, stone walls... very lovely.

Just over two acres, boarders, stone walls…it really feels like the country.  Not the suburbs.

Maybe somewhere at the bottom of the lawn?

Over sized living room with high ceilings.  I am thinking about all that new Mary Macdonald fabric and trim in this room.  Gorge!

Old fashioned screened in porch.  Put a big beautiful lantern in this room, and some XXX ratan furniture... et voila!

I love the garage doors.  And the stone wall that runs a long the side.

I love the garage doors. Think of all the Wisteria dripping from above.  A trellis would be easy to add! Some nice outdoor lights from Urban Electric Co. (Check out Fenwick Carriage Pocket or Belmont collection). And, there is a bedroom and full bath above where guests, or an au pair would be very comfortable!

 

 

It’s a great house.  If you are looking in this price range, do not over look this beauty!  If you would like to see the property, call us.  We would love to show you one of our favorites!
