1062 Main Street

Once in a lifetime opportunity to own one of Glastonbury's most iconic residences. This magnificent Colonial Revival, commissioned in 1908 as a custom home for Louis Howe, is beautifully sited on over 3.8 PICTURESQUE, LEVEL ACRES as part of an ESTATE that includes the MAIN HOUSE, FULLY EQUIPPED GUEST HOUSE AND A 2-STORY BARN/WORKSHOP. With its sweeping front porch and elegant symmetry of design, it occupies a grand and gracious presence on Main Street, just a short sidewalk stroll to the village of South Glastonbury. The entire interior of this 3548+ sq ft, 5- bedroom masterpiece showcases the artistry and craftsmanship of a bygone era, thoughtfully preserved by its most recent owner of 51 years. Coffered ceilings set the tone throughout, while the living room, dining room, and den unfold through a series of striking pocket doors, each framed in substantial 10-inch casings of quarter-sawn oak and chestnut. In the living room, a Revival-style fireplace commands attention with its sculpted mantel, dentil molding, and tiled surround of richly colored granite. The dining room is unforgettable -- sunlight pours in through bay windows, illuminating beautifully integrated cabinetry and moulding. Rare for a home of its vintage, functionality was clearly a priority, as seen in the kitchen's walk-in pantry, built-ins in the den and first-floor office, and an exceptional number of closets on the main and second floors. Up the main staircase is a landing of significant proportion providing entry to 5 BEDROOMS, including an ensuite primary bedroom with fireplace, all enhanced by gleaming hardwood flooring. There is a 2nd floor space plumbed for additional full bath, and an entire 3d floor of partially finished framed and floored space with plumbing for a 3d full bath. Outside is a pastoral 3.8- acre retreat, ideal for future pool and pool house, horses, tennis/pickleball court or simple enjoyment of a private oasis. The GUEST HOUSE boasts a full kitchen, living room, bedroom, fireplace, full bath, basement, and walk-up attic! And the heated barn offers storage and workshop capability, with a second floor suited for recreation or studio. Recent updates include new roof on main house (2020) and guest house (2024), updated electrical. Listing includes adjacent lot 1050 Main St 1.8 acres.
