Renee Zellweger lists 1770 Connecticut farmhouse

She had us at seven fireplaces (and a bread oven).

Actress Renee Zellweger’s 1770 Connecticut farmhouse, at 96 Cotton Road in rural Pomfret Center, is on the market for $1.6 million. She renovated the stylish and luxurious country getaway in 2004.

Its 38 acres overlook the Quinebaug River. The 3,463-square-foot main house includes a top-of-the-line kitchen and a bread-oven-equipped family room.

The updated home has old-fashioned charm with exposed beams and architectural details. There is also a guesthouse, a "recreation barn" and a swimming pool.

Zellweger, who won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in “Cold Mountain,” broke out with her 1996 performance in “Jerry Maguire” and endeared herself to audiences in “Bridget Jones’s Diary” by wearing giant underpants.

She bought the Connecticut getaway in 2004 and has listed it at least once before.

The listing is held by Joanna Dresser of Christie’s International Real Estate.
