The School House is an incredibly unique and stunning residence with magical gardens, mature landscaping, undulating brick walls and three fresh water ponds, sited on 3.62 acres with mature specimen trees and walking trails, all created by master horticulturist and noted landscape architect, Thomas Weir and his partner, renowned photographer, Wilbur Pippin. The central living area of the main house was originally constructed as the first one-room school house in East Haddam - the beautiful beams with vaulted ceiling and the striking fireplace, remain in place to this day, incorporated into the living room, and filled with natural light from an expansive bay window. The newly renovated kitchen with modern touches, highlighted with a vaulted ceiling and warming fireplace, functions additionally as an area for hearthside dining and gathering, with a large farm table overlooking the beautiful landscape. Steps from the kitchen, across a brick patio, is the greenhouse solarium with brick flooring, perfect as a separate dining room or sitting room. A recently renovated guest house with commodious bath and bedroom is located steps away from the main house. Also on the acreage is a newly constructed bucolic Gunite pool with natural grass surround, and a three bay post and beam barn. Square footage includes a Guest House of 324 square feet and Solarium of 240 square feet. See attached historical documentation of this fabulous property. Simply a treasure of history and beauty!
