Property Description
Own a Piece of History! This bucolic Brookfield beauty offers a rare combination of history, character, land, and opportunity. Built in 1775, this Antique Colonial has watched over 250 years of history unfold and is ready for its next chapter. Set on nearly 5 usable acres of level former farmland, the property features a spacious, updated interior along with multiple outbuildings and endless possibilities. Inside, you'll find over 3,000 sq. ft. of living space with 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, 2 fireplaces, and the warmth and character you expect from a home of this vintage. Outside, 2 barns await your vision, whether for hobbies, storage, animals, or something entirely new. And the opportunity doesn't stop there! Included is #51 across the street, a 1.09-acre parcel currently undergoing approvals as an additional building lot. The 3.72-acre home parcel at #50 is also undergoing approvals for a potential subdivision, creating the possibility of up to 3 lots for the price of one! Imagine a family compound, future development, or simply preserving the acreage and privacy for yourself. Located at the quiet intersection of Merwin Brook Road and Obtuse Road North, you'll feel tucked away in the country while remaining minutes from Brookfield amenities and conveniences, with numerous walking trails nearby, including just a 15-minute walk to lake Lillinonah! History, acreage, flexibility, and opportunity all in one remarkable offering!
