This remarkably updated & enhanced period colonial is located in the heart of East Hampton, just steps from the vibrant center village & beautiful Lake Pocotopaug. Built in 1865 during East Hampton's renaissance, it's a focal point of the community's character & history. The current owners lovingly added a 4 bedroom, 3 bay garage addition in 2001, retrofit the gourmet kitchen in 2014, rebuilt a fabulous two story barn in 2017 & added an elegant main level full bath in 2019. Given the vision of the initial architectural design, the home & property has become a true modern marvel linking the past to the present! Features include a modern kitchen complete with Rain Forest Marble counters, custom cabinetry, island & Viking gas oven/range & an extended eat-in area, a formal dining room, living room with gas fireplace, a den which connects to the 3 bay attached garage, new full bath & walks-out to the ground level level composite deck with hot tub as well as main level bedroom.
