The estate end of Roxbury
Roxbury is the Litchfield County town that has drawn writers and artists for decades, Alexander Calder and Arthur Miller among the ones who stayed. Thirty five Schoolhouse Road sits on a quiet country road in the estate part of it, which is the part that has kept its stone walls.
One level, done
The main house is arranged for one level living: a chic kitchen with custom cabinetry running into the dining room, and a great room anchored by a floor to ceiling wall of glass and a fireplace, opening directly onto a large deck above the grounds.
Four suites and a library
Four ensuite bedrooms, including a first floor primary with a sitting room, a gas fireplace, two fully built out walk in closets and French doors onto a private terrace with an outdoor fireplace. A library with built ins, and a lower level flexible enough for a studio or an office. Radiant heat with hydro air backup, a steam shower, smart home wiring, two sets of laundry.
The guest house and the grounds
A dramatic post and beam guest house sits above the two car garage under a vaulted ceiling, with a balcony, a full kitchen and its own laundry. The grounds carry mature trees, stone walls, a pond, sweeping lawns and gardens around a heated gunite pool, with porches and terraces between.
