A rare opportunity to own one of Suffield's most treasured historic homes. Built in 1790 by Thaddeus Leavitt and prominently sited on desirable Historic Main Street, this extraordinary residence seamlessly blends timeless New England character with modern luxury. The striking exterior is distinguished by intricate architectural moldings and red-stone steps leading to a grand front entrance. Offering 5 bedrooms and 4.5 baths, the home reveals remarkable craftsmanship throughout, including wide-plank floors, hand-carved moldings, elegant arched doorways, leaded glass doors, and four fireplaces. A grand center staircase anchors the home, while a secondary rear staircase leads to the chef's kitchen featuring custom cabinetry, Sub-zero and Wolf appliances, marble countertops, and exceptional workspace for entertaining and everyday living.
