About this home

Nearby walking and biking trails round out the neighborhood, making it easy to get outside and explore without ever needing the car.Inside, a spacious eat-in kitchen anchors the home, with formal living and dining rooms offering flexible space for daily life and entertaining. A gas fireplace warms the living room, ample closets solve the storage question room by room, and the home's original woodwork, trim, and period details remain beautifully intact.The first-floor bath was recently renovated, while the second bath retains its vintage character, including a clawfoot tub.Storage here goes well beyond the ordinary: a huge walk-up attic in the main house offers finished-space potential, and the 2-car detached garage - topped with a decorative cupola - includes its own attic storage above. The large driveway provides ample parking for family and guests alike
Outdoors, a private backyard retreat centers on a patio and deck with covered areas built for entertaining, dining, and quiet evenings alike. Recent updates take the guesswork out of ownership: a new boiler powers efficient gas heat, mini-split systems provide year-round heating and cooling, newer windows, and the driveway and garage doors have all been replaced. Homes with this much original character, this much storage, and this location in Old Wethersfield don't come along often. Schedule your showing today.
Old Wethersfield, located between the Connecticut River and Silas Deane Highway, is a historic and walkable Wethersfield neighborhood with a colonial streetscape and a river-meadow backdrop. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Main Street near Church Street, where brick sidewalks frame small galleries, cafés, and locally run shops in 18th- and 19th-century buildings. The Webb-Deane-Stevens Museum anchors the area’s Revolutionary-era identity, while Heirloom Market at Comstock Ferre brings a modern food hall feel to a landmark seed store. The Wethersfield Cove boardwalk and Cove Park set a calm, water-focused rhythm for daily walks. Broad Street Green reads like a town parlor, edged by preserved homes and seasonal gatherings. Architecture leans toward saltboxes, capes, and restored colonials with deep porches and mature trees.
