210 Doolittle Dr, Norfolk, CT 06058

Description

Nestled within the absolute privacy of the 1,700-acre Doolittle Lake Company woods, this beautifully maintained 100-acre estate across two parcels features a magnificent 5,670-square-foot 1780 Center Hall Colonial blending colonial and Art Deco charm. Painstakingly relocated in the 1930s by architect Robert Carrere, the home boasts grand reception rooms with wide red pine floors, two wet bars, and nine wood-burning fireplaces. Authentic 1930s nostalgia is preserved through functioning rotary dial phones and butler bells, while the gourmet kitchen is updated with a fireplace, custom cabinetry with antique glass, and a unique trout-cleaning fish sink on the back porch. The main floor opens to stone-walled perennial gardens and a custom, heated oval gunite pool, complete with a dramatic arched pool house featuring kitchenette, half bath, dressing rooms, and an outdoor shower. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a private sitting area, fireplace, and steam shower alongside three large ensuite bedrooms with fireplaces, and a playroom. A private ensuite studio bedroom sits above the heated three-car garage, offering perfect accommodations for staff or guests.
