41 Valley Road

This storybook Cape cottage is tucked away on a desirable, dead-end road across from the Shepaug River, directly bordering the Wyantenuck State Forest. The property enjoys river views and features a gentle brook stemming from a small pond with restoration potential. Full of charm, the 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom home is ready for its next owner to renovate and make it their own. A mudroom opens to the living room, featuring two sets of double windows, a large closet, and access to a spacious rear deck. An adjoining sunroom lined with windows offers flexible space for an office, studio, or guests. At the center of the home are a galley kitchen and a bathroom with a classic clawfoot tub. A cozy dining room and first-floor primary bedroom complete the main level, with a second bedroom upstairs. The beautiful grounds feature mature plantings and include a 2-car garage, a 2-room unfinished cottage with a wood stove, and two storage sheds. With magazine-worthy curb appeal, this property presents a rare opportunity on a road where homes seldom come up for sale. In addition to the privacy and easy access to hiking trails, you are perfectly positioned in Litchfield County: a quick 10-minute drive to the town centers of Washington and Litchfield, and just 15 minutes to Kent. Enjoy low taxes, summer days at Warren's beautiful town beach on Lake Waramaug, and the year-round appeal of life in the Litchfield Hills.
