Iconic Location
Built in 1863, this residence is located on the original site of the Sarah Pierce Academy, America's first school for girls.
Located at the top of iconic North Street and within walking distance to the town green, this Litchfield landmark is an integral part of local history. Built in 1863 for the Congregational Church Parsonage, it is located on the original site of the Sarah Pierce Academy, America's first school for girls. It was renovated by the current owner who preserved the rich, historic details of the home while addressing the needs of modern living. The home boasts an expansive, wood-paneled great room and a sun-filled garden room and patio. The wide-board flooring, millwork, and cupola are all original, and unlike other homes of its era, it has exceptionally high ceilings, windows, and doors. There are four bedrooms on the upper floor and a guest suite on the main level. The landscape and garden have been featured in multiple publications. Listed for $995,000 by The Matthews Group.
