Description
Locally known as the "1759 House," the Case House offers a rare opportunity to own one of Barkhamsted's most distinctive historic homes. The Case House retains early architectural features consistent with its traditional eighteenth-century date. Thoughtfully maintained, it combines historic craftsmanship with comfortable, functional spaces. The home's hand-hewn post-and-beam frame is complemented by original 12-over-12 windows with hand-blown glass, wide-plank floors secured with hand-forged nails, raised-panel doors, and original wrought-iron hardware. The original center chimney serves the open-hearth kitchen, where a large cooking fireplace and adjacent beehive oven remain defining features. Spacious living and dining rooms, a comfortable family room, and a second-floor office provide flexible spaces for gathering, relaxing, and working from home. Three bedrooms and one-and-one-half baths complete the home. The full walk-up attic preserves a large antique barn-frame loom, Case family shoe trees, and painted inscriptions from 1875 and 1877. A two-story horse barn, three-car detached garage with expansive workshop, garden shed, pump house, woodshed, and tractor shed complete this remarkably intact New England homestead, set in beautiful Barkhamsted with highly regarded schools and low property taxes. Visitors are encouraged to use Case Road entrance.
