Details

Nestled in the picturesque landscape of Litchfield County, this exquisite Greek Revival residence in Washington, CT, is a testament to designer Jennifer Hunter's vision of a countryside estate.

Spanning 4,500 square feet, the four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bathroom home masterfully integrates tailored interiors with playful finishes. The exterior design, inspired by months of studying period architecture in the region, ensures the house feels organically part of its historic surroundings, even featuring custom door hardware based on a piece of history tied to George Washington.

Inside, Hunter's signature bold yet livable aesthetic shines through, evident in spaces like the high-gloss aubergine living room, designed for versatile entertaining, and the tranquil, creamy kitchen that offers a serene contrast. Every detail, from the custom wallpaper and curated antiques to the commissioned art and unique millwork, contributes to a home that is both deeply personal and timelessly elegant.

The property also boasts a charming guest suite, affectionately known as "The Tree House," complete with a kitchenette, and thoughtfully designed children's rooms and bathrooms that exude a whimsical, youthful charm. This designer-showcased estate offers a unique blend of sophisticated luxury and comfortable family living in a prime rural location.
