Connecticut home, well-maintained since 1739, on the market

Built by Charles Lane for the Beardsley family, this stylish, four-bedroom Colonial with the bright yellow door has been loved and maintained over the centuries. There’s a newer kitchen, with a farm sink, granite counters, and breakfast bar, as well as a keeping room with a fireplace, a library, and a sunroom. The 3,315-square-foot home sits on almost 1.5 acres, with a patio, fireplace, stone walls, pergola, and waterfall.
