Ehrick Rossiter Designed “Aglin Farm”
Ehrick Rossiter Designed "Aglin Farm"
Bucolic! Such a rare find and just listed, it's likely to be snapped up by the first potential buyer. If you go there, you'll never want to leave. Built in 1908 and designed by the talented Ehrick Rossiter, Aglin Farm is one of only two Tudor Revival Style homes he designed in the Washington area. It is said that the guest house was the place from which Wendell Willkie launched his unsuccessful run for president in 1940!
Motoring up the drive of this 10 acre property, you will first pass the 4 bedroom guest house, historic ice house and the barn before pulling up to the entrance of the main house consisting of 7,900sf and sitting atop a rise on the property with commanding views of the acreage. Interesting to note that the entry façade, now sporting the gray shingles that dress the rest of the house, used to be stucco with half timbers and was formerly known as the Gables. Its lovely interior consists of 8 bedrooms and 8.3 baths, an elevator, 2 saunas, a lower level caretaker/in-law apartment and beautiful views out to the heated pool and tennis courts.
We are ultimately taken by the choice of so many gorgeous outdoor entertaining areas. Your imagination will go wild thinking about sparkling lights in the trees and the most bucolic setting of all, on the bank of the natural pond, looking as though it came out of a fairytale. This property is definitely one of the most magical we have come across! Estate in Washington, CT listed for $4,600,000.
