After being frustrated by the NYC co-op market, an architect and her husband opted to remain urban renters and build a weekend house in Litchfield County, CT. The concept has resulted in a light filled, luxe modern, sustainable and efficient 2510 SF home on 8.5 acres in Sharon's prime South Ellsworth section. The main house features 3 bedrooms and 3 baths with an adjacent two room studio and/or guest house. There is radiant heat throughout as well as central air. The main floor features ground and polished concrete floors while the upstairs rooms all have richly stained wood floors. The living room’s fireplace is accented by a concrete surround and antique wood beam mantel. The cook’s kitchen has professional grade appliances as well as ice stone counters. The master bath features double sinks, a large soaking tub as well as oversized shower. The main house has the possibility of adding a media room as well as gym area.
