Situated on nine idyllic, private acres in Sharon, this cozy retreat (which, sorry to say, has nothing to do with the painter Ellsworth Kelly), was recently renovated and expanded. The living room has a fireplace with a granite surround and pillars, crown molding, and French doors that lead to the deck. The eat-in kitchen has a bay window, beadboard cabinetry, a built-in bookcase and pantry. There are three bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms including the master with a vaulted ceiling. The grounds have stone walls and gardens, as well as a small apple orchard, a grove of hemlocks, and lightly wooded acres. The separate guesthouse is particularly useful when your friends clamor to visit your cottage in the country. Listed for $679,000 by Litchfield Hills Sotheby's International Realty
