Rare and wonderful weekend retreat located in the idyllic town of Sherman, CT. Private on almost 11 acres on a dead-end road, this charming and lovingly cared for home built in 1853 was once a church. The spacious public rooms feature arched ceilings, a stone fireplace in the living room, and a great room with fireplace that opens to the all-season room with tile floor; original features can be found throughout the house including the wide board wood flooring. The multi-level stone patio affords the perfect space for gracious outdoor entertaining or the opportunity to simply relax amidst the lush landscaping. Gardens and planting have been carefully tended and mature trees are abundant. Stone fences meander throughout the property which is comprised of 2 lots with a pool site, a pool plan is available. There is a separate guesthouse with bedroom, full bath, and its own stone patio; there is also a 2-car detached garage with loft and storage area, and a new septic. Candlewood Lake is nearby as is the Sherman town beach for residents.
