Iconic Farmington Treasure Sarah Porter, founder of Miss Porters School, was an innovative educator for young women. Her family home is equally innovative, blending cherished elements from the 1800's with a contemporary addition, admired by architects. Three stories of views drink in historic Farmington. Two large primary suites occupy the top floor - one with sunrises and the other with a sitting area to enjoy sunsets. The second floor boasts a large bedroom/entertainment room with floor to ceiling windows along with two additional charming bedrooms. All baths are updated. The kitchen bridges the old and new. The kitchen, sunroom and patio sparkle with a two-story wall of paned windows which open to the 19th century living room which flows to the original dining room. Three gas fireplaces warm the living room, dining room and office. Two staircases access each level, and the house easily accommodates large gatherings and weekend guests. Outdoors, natural landscaping complements the home's historic lineage. Situated in the heart of the village, walking distance to Porter's, shops and trails and excellent Farmington schools, Sarah Porter's home is a beacon to the next generation.
