The John Collins II House at 205 State Street is recognized as one of the finest colonial homes in Historic Guilford. Built in 1707, this handsome saltbox has been thoughtfully restored and updated while preserving its extraordinary historic character. Since 2005, the owners have invested extensively in maintaining original features including working fireplaces, chamfered beams, beaded corner boxes, hardwood floors, and wood paneling. Modern amenities include central air, warm-air heat, 200-amp electric service, city water, and natural gas. The front door opens to a traditional foyer with access to two first-floor chambers and the turned staircase. The formal living room features a fireplace, dual bake ovens, a deep closet, and an authentic Guilford Cupboard. A spacious Keeping Room spans the rear of the original house, anchored by a large fireplace with cooking crane and bake oven. At the south end of the Keeping Room is a formal dining room with garden access. The first-floor primary bedroom includes a fireplace and is located next to a renovated full bath. Exposed wood ceilings and beams enhance the keeping room, living room, and primary bedroom. A renovated rear addition provides modern living spaces including cathedral-ceilings in the stunning custom kitchen and family room. A first-floor laundry and half bath are adjacent to the family room. Skylights, custom windows, and large sliders fill the space with natural light and open to the patio and gardens. Upstairs are two spacious chambers, a renovated full bath, office area, built-in storage, walk-up attic access, and back staircase. A detached two-car garage is complemented by a heated studio with full bath overlooking the gardens. The professionally landscaped grounds feature perennial and wildflower gardens, a pond with water lilies, mature trees, and sculpted evergreens. Offering historic charm, modern comfort, and a prime location within walking distance of the Historic Guilford Green, this is a rare opportunity to own a treasured piece of Guilford history.
