The Meeting House, Estate of the Day

Filed under: Estates

This one intrigues me because it's a nice example of taking an existing building and creating a new structure. This home in the Ellsworth section of Sharon, Connecticut started with a Meeting House, built in 1812. There is a beautiful main room with original wide-plank floors, enormous windows, and a huge working fireplace. The upper portion of the Meeting House has been converted to living/guest quarters with rustic details and marble bath. In the rest of the house there is also a first floor master bedroom suite with large master bath, additional second floor master bedroom suite, large home office, pantry/utility room, radiant heated floors and a three-car attached garage. The home is on 5.69 acres with stone walls and ponds. It is listed at $2.495 million.
