Welcome to this distinctive Embankment Colonial, gracefully blending timeless character with thoughtful updates. Nestled in the perfect location-along the perimeter of Historic Norwichtown, this well loved home offers a peaceful retreat among the stately mansions of the town founders. Rich hardwood floors & a welcoming fireplace anchor the front-to-back living room filled with natural light. A flexible reception room, perfect for extra dining space, a coffee/cocktail bar, or a music/reading room connects you to the heart of the home: an expansive eat in kitchen, boasting 2 walk-in pantries, a breakfast bar & room for everyone. The quarter-turn staircase leads up to an open hallway connecting 4 large bedrooms where recent structural enhancements & beautifully refinished floors offer long-term peace of mind. This level features a 5th room/office & full bathroom. From the hallway, step outside onto the expansive patio overlooking a private, level & fully fenced backyard. Complete with a garden, shed, and shade trees, the yard is framed by quintessential New England stone walls along the back. Above the 2 car garage, a flexible loft with 484 more sqft of heated space (current workshop) offers endless potential for a studio, hobby room, office, or guest suite. The adjacent 16X11 stone room is a nod to the property's storied past while a newly paved & expanded driveway meets the needs of today's lifestyle. This home is ready for you to add your finishing touches & make it your own! Sold as is. Home is the 3rd lot beyond the Norwichtown Historic District, so there are no construction restrictions related to this. The utility room is off the mudroom beyond the kitchen where the boiler, water heater and laundry reside. Convenient access to I-395 and Route 2. The town card shows a half bath in the workshop but it was never connected or used by these sellers. The flexible loft with 484 more sqft of heated space (current workshop) above the detached 2-car garage offers endless potential for a studio, hobbies, home office or guest space.
