A Midcentury-Inspired Post-and-Beam Home Hits the Market in Connecticut For $595K
Located in historic Middle Haddam along the Connecticut River, this pristine post-and-beam home was built in 1987 and has received multiple updates—all in keeping with the elegance of the original design.
Set on 1.9 acres, the 3,235-square-foot property features four bedrooms and three baths. The home opens to a bright and airy, open-plan living space with soaring, cedar-paneled, tongue-and-groove cathedral ceilings. Extensive glazing—including clerestory windows and skylights—floods the home with natural light.
The home's low-slung profile has a Zen-like Japanese feel. The building is an early example of structural insulated panel (SIP) construction.
