Create a lifestyle opportunity unlike anything else on the market! Nestled in the village of South Glastonbury, this rare turn-of-the-century property blends charm, creativity, and versatility in one truly special offering. The main home features 4-5 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, thoughtfully renovated while preserving its artistic soul. Long admired as a source of inspiration for local artists, the home showcases distinctive design elements throughout-custom woodwork, stained glass accents, decorative tile, and glass block windows-creating a warm, light-filled, and inviting atmosphere. A comprehensive renovation completed in 2022 includes a beautifully updated kitchen with new appliances, renovated bathrooms, refinished flooring, recessed lighting, new interior and exterior doors, trim work, fresh paint throughout, and the addition of a front and side entry. Additional improvements include newer siding, windows, roof, and hot water heater. Comfort is enhanced with natural gas baseboard heat, supplemental electric baseboard, a wood-burning fireplace, and window A/C units. A true standout is the expansive ~5,000 sq ft barn-fully equipped with water, sewer, electric, and its own separate meter. This versatile space includes a 1-bedroom, 1-bath living area (included in total bedroom/bath count) and has served as a working art studio for over 20 years. With two levels, multiple access points, a 1200 sq ft Lean-to on the back, and even an EV charger, the barn offers exceptional flexibility-ideal for a guest suite, in-law setup, home business, workshop, or storage for boats, commercial vehicles, or a prized car collection. Additional features include a detached oversized 850 sq ft 3-car garage with electricity, heated by a pellet stove and metered separately via the barn-perfect for hobbyists or additional workspace. Set on a beautiful lot with Roaring Brook flowing through the backyard-stocked with trout each spring-and town-owned land beyond, the property offers a rare combination of privacy and natural beauty. The partially fenced yard enhances usability, while the location provides unmatched convenience-just a short stroll to South Glastonbury Village, local favorites like SoG Coffee Roasters, Two Hopewell, Sayulita, Glastonbury Marina, Glastonbury & Hartford Yacht Clubs and Hops on the Hill, as well as farm stands, hiking trails at Cotton Hollow, the Connecticut River, and the historic ferry. A truly one-of-a-kind property where creativity, functionality, and lifestyle converge-let your inspiration lead you home.
