Two Houses on 15.66 Acres With Views Over Kent Hollow, in South Kent

At the end of Straight Road in the Kent Hollow section of South Kent, 14 Straight Road is a two-house compound on 15.66 private acres with views across the Kent Hollow ridgelines. The main house sits high on the property, reached by a long paved drive; the guesthouse—a 1950s modern structure with its original character intact—sits discretely midway along the approach.

The main house is a 1993 contemporary with 4 bedrooms, 4 fireplaces, two screened porches, and expansive decks oriented to the views. A first-floor bedroom is currently configured as a den. The kitchen has been renovated with a Viking double oven, Viking 6-burner gas cooktop, two Miele dishwashers, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, wine fridge, double sinks, and Carrara marble countertops—a serious cook's kitchen. Heated mesquite floors run throughout the main level. A 2-car garage is attached.

The guesthouse adds 2 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a fireplace, and an expansive deck of its own—fully livable as independent quarters for guests, a studio, or a tenant. Together the two structures account for approximately 4,465 square feet, 7 bedrooms, and 5 fireplaces.

The property is just west of Lake Waramaug, one of the more photographed lakes in Litchfield County, and close to Kent village with its galleries, restaurants, and the covered bridge over the Housatonic. Listed at $2,350,000 in April, it has been reduced to its current price.

14 Straight Road, Kent (CT) is listed at $1,995,000, offered by Mark Madonna and Jeffrey Phillips at William Pitt Sotheby's International Realty.
