On nearly an acre in the Borough of Litchfield, the 1775 Benjamin Tallmadge House is a rare offering in the Litchfield Historic District. A decade of museum-quality stewardship under the current owners has produced one of the most thoughtful restorations ever undertaken on a North Street residence, with every original architectural detail preserved. This antique Colonial blends preserved character with thoughtful updates, including original wide-board pine floors, plaster walls, refurbished Indian shutters, 10 fireplaces, and a chef's kitchen with soapstone counters, La Cornue range, butler's pantry, and built-in banquette. Four bedrooms are joined by a third-floor den currently configured as a 5th bedroom.The primary suite features a 2026 expanded glass-and-tile shower, walk-in dressing room, and cedar closets. Grounds by Michael Trapp include a 44-foot gunite pool, planted rooftop deck with 10-foot spa, tea house, gazebo, gas fire pit, and attached 3-car garage. This is the rare offering where architecture, national history, and daily livability all carry equal weight - a Georgian landmark with Revolutionary War provenance, museum-quality restoration, and a Trapp landscape compound, presented in turnkey condition for its next generation of stewardship.
