Sleeping is arranged across five bedrooms: a king primary suite, two queen bedrooms, and two bedrooms with two twin beds each. The oversized primary bedroom includes a private bath with a granite-enclosed waterfall shower, soaking tub, and dual sinks. Comfort-focused touches noted in the property description include down bedding plus Frette cotton sheets and bathrobes.

Location & nearby highlights
The setting is described as a great neighborhood for walking, running, and biking, with access to nearby land preserves and outdoor activities such as hiking, fly fishing, and canoeing/kayaking/tubing. Popular area draws mentioned include Lake Waramaug State Park & Beach and Mohawk Mountain Ski Area. Dining options in the wider area include Bridgewater Village Store & Bistro (about 5.8 km away) and restaurants such as Zaza's on Main and Cowboy Butter (about 7.3–7.4 km away).
Best for
Best suited to groups and extended-family getaways that want a classic Litchfield County country escape with space to spread out across five bedrooms. It’s also ideal for guests planning a pool-focused summer stay (heated outdoor pool, bluestone terrace, gas BBQ) or a four-season getaway near Lake Waramaug and Mohawk Mountain skiing.
Travel tips
This home is on a scenic dirt road; plan to arrive with a car for groceries, restaurant visits, and exploring Roxbury/Washington and the surrounding preserves. The area is marketed as a relatively low-traffic drive from NYC or Boston, but allow extra time in winter or if you’re heading to Mohawk Mountain Ski Area. For flights, Tweed New Haven Airport is the closest listed airport (about 50 km away), with Bradley International and Westchester County also within regional driving distance.
