ESTATE
PLANNING
For
your consideration: an elegant 1912 Ehrick Rossiter-designed
estate in Washington Depot, Connecticut. Down a winding driveway,
past an artist’s cottage and a pond with a stone bridge,
the extensively renovated main house is nearly beyond description.
The spectacular kitchen (overlooking the 28-acre property)
has Viking and SubZero appliances, granite countertops and
a breakfast bar. There is a breakfast room off the screened
porch, perfect for morning coffee or evening cocktails. The
great room has two fireplaces and the family room leads to
a deck. There is a fabric-walled dining room and a study with
a fireplace. The master suite has a fireplace, a sitting room
with fireplace, and a bathroom with heated towel racks and
floor. Another bath has an antique soaking tub. The artist’s
cottage has a kitchen, loft and bath overlooking the pond.
The barn/garage has a large caretaker’s apartment above.
Stunning gardens surround a heated gunite pool with a barbecue
area. Asking $4.25 million.
