For Sale in Goshen, CT
Step back in time and embrace the charm of a bygone era. Introducing The Barnabas Beach House- Circa 1740, quite possibly the oldest home in Goshen. Barnabas' father, Captain John Beach was the first town Moderator, Deacon and served eight successive years in the Colonial Assembly. This remarkable antique homestead is steeped in history and has been thoughtfully restored, preserving many period details while providing modern comforts found in the remodeled kitchen, central air conditioning, and five working fireplaces. The wide plank flooring and exposed hand hewn beams are a reminder of the rich history forever connected to home and property. The first floor includes an entry foyer, a living room, a dining/family room combination, a powder room, kitchen and separate functional pantry. Two separate stairways lead to the second story with a primary bedroom with vaulted ceilings, a secondary bedroom and a third bedroom (without a closet) which share a full bathroom accessed by the hallway. A detached two story outbuilding (former milk house) is perfect for an artist studio or craftsman. A additional storage barn is quite expansive and allows for endless possibilities. The level and rolling 3.40 acre site overlooks rolling meadows, farmland and long-reaching vistas. Beyond the barn, a scenic dirt road leads to Whist Pond on 60 acres, connecting thousands of acres of conserved land that has been untouched for centuries. The Barnabas Beach Homestead is awaiting its next chapter.
