Property Description
Welcome to "Fresh Water Farm," an ultra-charming circa 1790 storybook farmhouse, tucked in a quiet South Wilton enclave near scenic Cranbury Park. Once home to family-owned Young's Nursery, this well-cared for landscape showcases level lawns & mature specimen plantings, including massive umbrella pines, purple magnolias, grand cedar & redwood trees, plus an assortment of neatly coiffed shrubs to garnish the property. The preserved vintage stone walkways & stone slab steps are in keeping with the authentic interior character of this cherished home. Stunning honey-hued floors are highlighted throughout, while the front-to-back living room w/ fireplace make a perfect setting for lingering nights. Retreat to the cozy reading cove, complete with built-ins and window seat, before venturing into the fabulous sun room with french doors that transforms into the perfect 3-season sleeping porch. Dining in front of the beehive fireplace with wood stove is reminiscent of generations past, keeping the whole house toasty warm before and after every meal. The pretty nook with long windows has become a favorite corner of the house for many over the years. A cheerful eat-in kitchen w/ access to the sunny deck, a nicely-sized mudroom with built-in bench, and lovely powder room complete the main level. The upper levels are equally special with 4+ bedrooms and two full baths, and a spectacular third floor that delightfully surprises every guest. "Fresh Water Farm" is truly a lovable antique gem.
