a period home lovingly and meticulously updated
Sick of gray walls and shiplap? Experience the charm of a period home that's been lovingly and meticulously updated by the same family for 30 years. Nestled in the charming Stratfield Village neighborhood, this lovely Queen Anne Victorian is a dream come true for creatives looking for a home with character, from its wrap-around porch to its stained-glass windows. The parlor, family and dining areas are rich with antique-inspired lighting, molding and millwork-putting the craftsmanship of yesteryear on full display. The kitchen caters to all the modern demands of an enthusiastic home chef, while offering plenty of room to entertain. Even though it won top honors in the 2004 Sub-Zero/Wolf Kitchen Design Contest, it still features classic quarter sawn oak cabinets, copper and slate countertops, a fir wood floor and a tin ceiling. A rail ladder system adds whimsical allure while maximizing accessible storage. An impressive seven bedrooms give the unique chance to reimagine the space to suit your needs. Ideal for a home office, playroom, family room, music room, or hobby area. The basement features an exercise room and plenty of storage. Well-established perennial gardens lighten the landscaping load, while an herb and vegetable garden await a summer buyer. Harvest your own fresh tomatoes, peppers, zucchini, squash, cucumbers, Swiss chard, peas, string beans, and herbs. Within walking distance of local shops and restaurants, a park, and schools. Low monthly utilities.
