Set on an idyllic landscape in Newtown, Connecticut, this stunning landmark property presents as a mini-estate offering two parcels of property totaling 3.58 acres, a main house, guest cottage, utility house, garage with studio, and a two-family duplex.
The main house, built in 1879 served as the family home for Maple Tree Farms until it was transformed into a gracious living space in the late 1930’s by sisters Juanita and Kate Smith – famed vocalist known for her rendition of God Bless America.
The main house features a sweeping 900 square foot wrap-around porch perfect for entertaining, fine beaded pine paneling throughout, a butler call-system, a great room with a beautiful stone fireplace, a master bedroom suite complete with dressing room and fireplace, and a third floor penthouse with amazing built-in closets complete with private bath. The house features recently updated systems including natural gas heat, central air conditioning and a soft water system.
The property conveniently situated two miles from the quintessential New England village of Newtown, Connecticut and one hour outside of New York City, features a private vista overlooking gorgeous handcrafted stonewalls and an amazing array of Oak, Copper Beech, Gingko, Georgia Sweet Gum, and Black Walnut trees – not to mention a mature Japanese Feather Maple with an estimated worth in excess of $20,000. An apple orchard sits to the rear of the property and features MacIntosh and Baldwin Apple trees.
A charming 1400+ sq/ft guest cottage sits behind the main house. The cottage was added at the time of the Smith’s renovation, Somewhat of a replica of the main house, featuring pine paneling throughout and a large stone fireplace in the living room, it is purported to have been built to house Smith’s business manager. The cottage features three bedrooms, a full bath and ample storage space. The cottage serves as an excellent source of rental income for the current owner and could easily serve as an in-law apartment or in-home professional office space. The space is heated with natural gas and has separate service for both heat and electric.
A two-family duplex – formerly a stable for Maple Tree Farms - sits at the base of the property on a separate parcel of land. Each unit is currently rented and features three bedrooms, a full bath, central air conditioning, soft water systems and separate utilities. There are three garage bays available for storage.
Additional structures on the property include a three room utility house complete with utility sinks and a bathroom with shower. Formerly used as a bath house for a pool that has since been removed, this space is perfect for a garden shed, office or artist’s studio. The building is separately heated with an LP heating system.
A two-bay garage offers a second storey loft studio space, electric service, utility sinks, water hook-ups and a bomb shelter beneath. WWW.THEMANORATNEWTOWN.COM
