This Litchfield Georgian was built by Thomas Sheldon in 1775 and was the home of Benjamin Tallmadge, who served as George Washington’s head of espionage. Inspired by his visit to Washington's Mount Vernon estate, Tallmadge altered his home with the addition of two columned porches. Despite its rich history in early American life, this home is no museum because the restored authentic materials mix comfortably with the 21st-century amenities. The four-bedroom, three-and-a-half bathroom home has a classical layout, large living areas and 10 fireplaces. The house is located on an acre near the historic Village. Listed for $1.395 million by Elyse Harney Real Estate.
