VERY MOTIVATED SELLER! OCT 31, 2024 5PM PROPERTY TO BE WITHDRAWN/WINTERIZED. Seller says sell! Bring all offers. Quintessential, picturesque New England! This 1810 colonial in Colebrook has 14.7 acres and a huge antique barn. In the same family since 1955, this house offers 4 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, 2262 sq feet heated, a granite and fieldstone foundation. Well, septic, and oil heat with 2 oil tanks in the basement. With acres of forest behind the cleared backyard, this property offers privacy and serenity. Some wetlands in the back of the property: ask your Realtor for the report. The roomy, grassy meadows in the side yard behind the stone wall, and in the backyard, have mature plantings and trees and offer ample space, and shade from the hot summer sun, for guests and family gatherings. Well-known to locals as the Colebrook Book Barn, commercial usage may be possible, but buyers and their agents must do due diligence on zoning and on possible subdivision. This antique charmer with original wide pine floorboards, original plaster walls, original beams, and vintage wallpapers throughout is in need of a buyer with vision, ready to restore it and build equity. The unheated cold storage room off the kitchen may have the home's original, now unused, water cistern which may be about 4-5 feet deep under the wood floor, but the family selling this property does not know for sure and the only way to find out is remove the wood floor. Bring your offer! This property has amazing opportunities; come unleash your creativity and rejuvenate this charming, historic New England colonial. It is an estate, and the Seller will make no repairs. Colebrook is a quiet town in northern Litchfield County beloved for country living, but is close to all the cultural activities, shopping and restaurants in and around Litchfield County and in Great Barrington and Stockbridge, Massachusetts; for example, both Music Mountain and Jacob's Pillow are each only 30-35 min away! Closer to home, the town's public rec area offers swimming, as does Sandy Brook, plus fishing, and nearby Camp Jewell is great for kids 7-16. The nearby Colebook Store is a busy town hub where you will bump into and chat with neighbors and pick up your sandwich/other sundries. Will not go FHA. Subject to probate approval, in process. Do not walk the property without a real estate agent.
