Barn has electricity and can be converted to living space, studio or small business uses. Separate gazebo houses an 8-person hot tub. Inside, enjoy generous living room w/cathedral ceiling & fireplace, remodeled open-flow kitchen/dining room with newer appliances, bright sunroom with lovely built-in bookshelves, huge and recently remodeled primary bedroom w/ensuite bath and 1 large & 1 walk-in closet, plus 2 other bedrooms & a 2nd full bath.

Town records suggest home once had a 3rd full bath - 2 smaller baths may have been combined at some point, there are 2 large full baths now. NPV calculations for solar array were done on a solar NPV calculator co-developed by NREL/Sandia National Labs - see report attached. Depending on usage patterns, 11.07 kW system may well be enough for electric car/truck charging as well as supporting the heat pump & general electric needs - who needs a gas station if your rooftop pays your transportation fuel costs. Home is in R-20 zone. Per Town of Cheshire Planning & Zoning Department, this allows use of the barn/3-car garage as-of-right as an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) for family members and also for certain home-business uses, with strict limits to maintain residentil character of the neighborhood. Check with your Realtor or Town of Cheshire for details; buyers should do their due diligence on any proposed business use. 8-person hot tub has not been used in about 3 years. It was in good working order as of last use and seller is not aware of any issues with it, but makes no warranty; to avoid issues, hot tub should be professionally serviced before next use.
