Seller incentive: $26,000 seller concession for offers received by November 1! Rare Bethlehem Offering - 1740s Antique + Commercial-Ready Barn on 2 Acres Welcome to a rare offering in the heart of Bethlehem, CT, sited at the town's famous blinking light with easy proximity to Washington, Litchfield & Woodbury. Dating to the 1740s, this sensitively preserved 4-bedroom antique is rich with period charm - 5 fireplaces, including a 12' hearth housing a beehive oven, historic detailing, a walk-up attic, and a basement with soaring 9' ceilings that homes a Viessmann Furnace and hot water heater. Thoughtful updates throughout make it a warm, move-in-ready home. The real story here is the barn: a striking 3,000 SF structure originally restored for a commercial dine in bakery, with the significant investment already behind it - new roof, doors meeting fire & code, 4-phase electrical, roughed plumbing & HVAC, and poured concrete floors. Reimagine it as an event space, artisan workshop, wellness retreat, or second residence - the foundation is already in place. A picturesque pond adds ambiance, ideal for commercial use or connecting the structures for potential multi-generational living. A charming milk house offers even more flexible space - guest quarters, studio, gym, or workshop. Grounds feature ornamental Japanese & red maples, flowering pear, cherry, birch & magnolia, plus a newly graded and re-graveled driveway (2023) and 75 feet of town-maintained sidewalk!
