This home is a hidden gem on 10.2 acres of level meadows edged with woods within walking distance of Main Street in New London and across the road from Colby Sawyer College with easy access the to College's many cultural and learning experiences, as well as within walking distance to Hogan Sports Center which includes a pool, workout room, indoor track and more. Originally a barn, it was raised in 1996 and a full foundation was added. Along with using parts of the original to construct the home, the owners created a core and upper level of beautiful, post and beam construction of hand-selected materials. Also added was an exposed floor-to-ceiling chimney creating fireplaces with handsome glass doors on both the main and upper levels. The silo provides the winding stairs to all levels with a wonderful viewing spot at the top. You will easily settle into this home's charm and comfort. The setting offers privacy where you can use your imagination to creatively approach the land. This is a wonderful and unusual opportunity practically in the center of town. The 5-bay detached carriage-style garage to the right rear of the property is perfect for storage, hobbies, or vehicles. Rarely does a property this special come along so close to town.
