This cottage is fit for Frog and Toad, who I think would be passionate weekenders with a home base in NYC and an obsession with vintage fixtures. Down a long, tree-lined driveway, it’s all stones and moss on the outside, with warm vintage charm inside. Built in 1930 and literally named “Story Book Cottage,” it’s 2,450 square on 10 acres with four bedrooms and two bathrooms. This property in New Milford is so magical that it’s listed as “undisclosed.” 

Inside, there’s honey-colored wood paneling, a floor-to-ceiling fieldstone fireplace and original oak floors, a dining room that opens to a lovely fieldstone terrace, and a butler’s pantry. It feels vintage but in a good way, with well-preserved quality finishes that harken back to an earlier time, maybe 1950 or 1960. Outside there’s a heated saltwater pool and a two-car garage, and the house has central air. Membership at nearby Candlewood Heights Beach Club offers water access.

This New Milford property is listed by Melinda Dubow and Joseph Lorino of Klemm Real Estate Inc. for $995,000.
