The Dean House, a/k/a The Horsford Homestead, a/k/a The Howe's Home is arguably the oldest residence in Falls Village (Canaan), CT. The original structure was built in 1735, with a major, two story addition added in 1804. Many details have withstood the test of time, and this home is a stunning statement for any old-house enthusiast. If you envy the history as a preservationist, conservationist, or restorationist, you just found your personal Xanadu. From the original fireplaces and paneling to the structural "bones" in the attic and basement, all the right features are here, as spacious rooms, cozy environs, and heartfelt warmth are the mantras. Much of the original trim, flooring, doors, and moldings are prevalent, and that impact speaks volumes. The bathrooms are recently updated, and there are newer appliances. The cedar roofs are no more than 7 years old. The outdoor environment is lush and well maintained. There's a kidney shaped in-ground pool, beautiful gardens, and even a large flat lawn that once served as a home to a full-sized English croquet court. The large old barn dates well back in time, and there's a gazebo for quiet reflection and outdoor meals. Several other smaller buildings exist for all types of storage. And then there's the newer building (1997) - a combination of a two-car garage, a huge studio/workshop, a smaller storage room, and a roughly 1700 sq. ft. in-law apartment on the second floor.

This jewel box is small but mighty! Set on a lovely side street, this 1870 home has recently undergone a down-to-the-studs renovation. Every wall was opened up, allowing for all-new plumbing, electrical, insulation, and roofing. The interior was reimagined to create dramatic yet inviting spaces, like the entertaining kitchen featuring a waterfall-edge marble island, induction range with pot filler, and an exposed beamed ceiling. Designed to feel like a seamless part of the living space, a hidden "prep" kitchen houses the sink, additional appliances, and storage, keeping the mess completely out of view. The soaring ceiling of the living room is an unexpected find in a home of this footprint. A wall of windows and French doors fills the room with light, taking in the large yard and accessing the patio for summer soirees around the fire pit. The first-floor bedroom, currently used as a cozy den, also features a lovely exposed beam ceiling and sits adjacent to a full bath. Upstairs, the entire second floor encompasses a large bedroom suite. It currently features a half bath, with plenty of room to easily add a tub, shower, or both to create a custom en-suite. Down in the basement, a fresh concrete floor was poured and all mechanicals are brand new. This property offers all the charm and character of a historic home with none of the headaches!
