The Nod Brook Farm in West Simsbury is a treasure. Lovingly restored by the current owners, it offers a rural, Victorian exterior look with the smart and eclectic interior feel of a professional interior designer. All 3800 plus square feet are comfortable, warm and inviting. Many period details remain including the functional exterior shutters, "2 over 2" Victorian window sash, open porches and a picket fenced dooryard. A cottage garden is accessed from the formal Dining Room and features lovely and some rare plantings including a Dawn Redwood tree. Interior period details include the narrow pine flooring, lovely open staircase with original newel post, late 19th century hardware and passage doors. Beyond the Foyer there is the Front Parlor with a cast iron gas stove, a wonderful Guest Bedroom and a stunning full Bath with slipper tub. The formal Dining Room is absolutely breathtaking! With its wonderful old fireplace, built in niches, maple floors and access to the gardens and front porch, this is a very special place to entertain. An updated Kitchen features ample cabinet and counter space with stainless steel appliances and tile flooring. The owners have achieved the feel of a traditional Victorian kitchen by the limited use of uppers and a nice mix of antique furniture. The Family Room is enormous! This comfortable space includes a raised hearth fireplace with woodstove insert, rustic oak flooring, walls of window glass and lots of recessed lighting . . . The compartmentalized Powder Room and Laundry are conveniently located down a short hallway. There is also another large space that can be used as a Bedroom, Office or Craft space. A heated workshop is found on the first level as well. The second floor offers a stunning Master Bedroom Suite including a Sitting Room, Master Bath and Walk-In Closet. Additionally, a Study and 2 more Bedrooms are located on this level. These rooms are served by another full Bath. You will also find a convenient back staircase circulating back to the main floor Kitchen. The grounds and outbuildings are in fine condition. The current owners installed a circular driveway which serves the home and the 2 car garage located in one of the main Barn wings. Numerous smaller accessory buildings offer many potential uses. The newer Sugar House is a functioning asset that every farm in New England should have. Call today to see the Nod Brook Farm, an amazing opportunity to own a classic West Simsbury residence that has been admired by so many over the years.
