Jericho St, Hartford, Home For Sale

Stone Hill is the jewel on the hill of the historic Jericho settlement, now part of the Town of Hartford near the Norwich line. Hezekiah and Sarah Hazen built the brick Federal in 1781, raising 14 children and countless sheep. The current owners restored and expanded it in big house-little house-back house-barn style, preserving original details while adding modern comforts, including a large post and beam barn with a workspace above, 3-bay garage, shop, two stalls, and a tack room. The elegant house features six fireplaces, high ceilings, and wide pumpkin-pine floorboards. The kitchen has Carrara marble countertops, professional-grade appliances, and plenty of space for helping hands. The wide porch, overlooking a pool bordered by cherry trees--think pies and jams--is perfect for taking in the sunset. The library, living room, first-floor bedroom, and formal dining room offer gracious living spaces.
