Sold- Acreage Wednesday ~ c.1859 Italianate For Sale on 1.23 Acres in Newington, CT Under $400K

The Antique Italianate home offers so many opportunities! It is one of the finest restorations of its kind and with little work would make a great B and B or professional office building. It sits on 1.23 beautiful acres that offers vegetable and flower gardens, apple, pear and cherry trees, and plenty of outdoor living space located not far from the center and the West Hartford line.

This home has 4/5 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, formal dining room, formal parlor, family room with gas fireplace and built in bookshelves, and a large room that is currently being used as an office but could make a great first floor master. Every room has been taken down to the studs to add newer electrical and plumbing and filled with blown in insulation. The walls have been replaced with new plaster and the ceilings have all been replaced with new sheetrock and the original crown moldings and ceiling medallions were restored and put back. The rooms are 9 and 10 feet tall and first floor has hardwood floors throughout.

There is 4 zone gas heat and house runs very efficiently! Under the carpet in the large bedrooms upstairs is original pine flooring. The beautiful french doors open to the fabulous wrap around front porch with a side door installed originally for the children to access the large yard. Lieutenant Comstock was the original homeowner and was commissioned by CT governor Buckingham to recruit soldiers for the Civil War. The letter is framed and hangs in the front hallway.
