Barkhamsted, CT 06063

SIGNIFICANT RECENT IMPROVEMENTS! Welcome to 55 Gavitt Road, a charming historic home featuring extensive updates while preserving its original character. Recent improvements include a beautifully reconstructed chimney with period-appropriate brickwork, structural support enhancements in the basement, a newly installed UV water treatment system, and well improvements to meet current code requirements. 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 newly re-built center chimney serves the open-hearth kitchen, where a large cooking fireplace and adjacent beehive oven remain defining features. 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.
