Sited just across from Mohawk Mountain, The Toll House stands as one of Cornwall’s earliest registered properties, dating back to 1740. This historic residence has been lovingly restored, preserving its architectural legacy while introducing refined modern touches.
At the heart of the home is an extraordinary DeVol kitchen, spanning the full length of an expansive, light-filled space. A showcase project for DeVol, this bespoke kitchen embodies craftsmanship at its finest, featuring handcrafted stone and brass details, delicate porcelain light fixtures, exquisite English millwork, and a seamless connection to the home’s historic soul. An antique copper island offers a central gathering point, and compliments the gorgeous Vermont Danby marble countertops. A Bertazzoni gas range and extra prep sink will delight your inner chef.
With its gentle, rambling nature, the Toll House is designed for both intimacy and openness, balancing historic character with thoughtful updates. The main level welcomes with oak floors throughout and charming details like original moldings and casements, and brass hardware on the restored french doors and push-button light switches. A warm and inviting living room features a wood-burning fireplace, creating a natural focal point for quiet evenings. A formal dining room with original details flows effortlessly into the sprawling kitchen with its sun drenched breakfast nook. Adjacent to the kitchen, a bright office serves as space for all your creative pursuits. One of the four bedrooms is tucked off the entry, offering privacy for guests or quietude for those needing extra work-from-home space. A full bath and separate mudroom complete this level.
Upstairs, three serene bedrooms unfold beneath the eaves, each with its own distinct charm. The primary bedroom enjoys calming wooded views at the rear of the property, while the remaining rooms provide flexible space for friends or family. A second full bath serves this level, blending modern comforts with period authenticity.
Set on a stunning six and an half acre parcel of land, the property has been thoughtfully restored to its natural beauty, with a dedicated conservation effort transforming the grounds into a flourishing native wildflower meadow. Walking trails weave through the landscape, leading to a sunlit clearing with breathtaking views of Mohawk Mountain - an ideal site for a future pool. Up the hill, the home directly abuts protected land owned by the Cornwall Conservation Trust, offering uninterrupted access to scenic hiking trails and ensuring privacy and serenity for generations to come. A rare offering where history, design, and nature converge, the Toll House invites its next stewards to become part of its enduring legacy.
