Seize the opportunity to own a piece of architectural and cultural history in Washington, CT. This distinguished estate, long connected to the Frisbie family, played a significant role in the transformation of Washington into a favored seasonal retreat for New York City's business and arts community in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Originally built in the mid-1800s by Samuel Frisbie, son of Edward Frisbie, this Greek Revival home was relocated across the street to its current location and expanded in 1910 by the renowned New York City painter, sculptor, and writer Walter Russell. Under current ownership, the home has been meticulously restored, structurally repaired and thoughtfully expanded once again. As you approach the main entrance, you'll be greeted by a walkway crafted from locally quarried granite and framed by majestic sugar maples. Step onto one of the two inviting colonnades and enter a home filled with natural light, featuring original oak and chestnut wide-board floors, exposed beams, and charming built-ins. With over 5,700 square feet of living space, the home boasts 14 generously sized rooms, including 6 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, a sunroom, library, and a guest/au pair suite. Three beautifully appointed fireplaces provide warmth and ambiance throughout. This exceptional property is available as-is or can be optionally completed to your tastes - ask agent for details.
