Private Sheffield Garden Dream On 4 Acres Along The Housatonic

Set on four private acres along a quiet stretch of road by the Housatonic, this is the kind of place that reveals itself slowly. The driveway is lined with rhododendrons that light up every spring, and the rest of the landscape is paced to bloom straight through summer - fruit trees, azaleas, perennials, all of it planted by someone who clearly knew what they were doing. Out back, a brook babbles through the yard. The Sheffield covered bridge, about as scenic as New England gets, is nearby. Inside, the first floor opens up and flows - wood floors throughout, and a wood-burning fireplace that anchors the whole space. There's a full bath on the main level. Upstairs, the primary has its own en suite, and the other two bedrooms share a half bath.

The detached three-car garage is a real bonus. Room for bikes, kayaks, and whatever your adventures call for - or a modest car collection. And the unfinished second floor is a blank slate, ready to become an ADU or in-law suite down the road.

Ten minutes to Guido's, but really it's the land that stays with you. A private oasis, and for anyone who likes to garden, something close to a dream.
