Property Description
Amazing opportunity to restore one of New Britain's grand historic homes. Located in the desirable West End Historic District, this impressive center hall Colonial offers more than 5,000 square feet of living space and is ready for its next chapter. Featuring seven bedrooms, 3.1 bathrooms, four fireplaces, and remarkable craftsmanship throughout, this home showcases beautiful hardwood floors, extensive crown molding, stunning original woodwork, and a rare brick oven fireplace in the kitchen. Outside, you'll find a bluestone patio, copper gutters, a two-car detached garage, and a prominent corner lot, making this one of the area's larger and more distinguished properties. Built in 1905, this home was once a true showpiece and offers endless potential for the right buyer. The property is in need of significant rehabilitation and does have older fire damage along with areas of discoloration. This is not a project for the average investor, but rather an opportunity for someone with the vision and resources to restore a historic masterpiece to its former glory. Due to the property's condition, traditional financing will not qualify. Sold in as is condition.
