Seize the rare opportunity to own Filston, one of Litchfield County's most distinguished Gilded Age estates. Designed in 1903 by renowned architect William Cromwell, Jr. for Mr. and Mrs. Romulus Colgate, this Neoclassical treasure seamlessly blends Italianate Renaissance Revival, Palladian, Neo-Gothic, and French Empire influences, creating a singularly breathtaking country estate.
