Step into a truly one-of-a-kind home where history, character, and creativity come together. Originally built circa 1892 as the historic Hilltop Hose Company No. 3 Firehouse, this remarkable property has been thoughtfully transformed into an eclectic single-family residence while honoring its architectural roots. The 1,000-square-foot first floor offers an expansive open layout with soaring ceilings, creating an impressive space for everyday living and entertaining. Nearly as spacious, the versatile third-floor retreat includes a full bathroom, extensive built-in storage, counter space, and a private balcony-making it ideal as a generous primary suite, guest room, living area, home office, creative studio, or flexible multigenerational living space. Distinctive Art Deco-inspired design elements add personality throughout, creating a home unlike any other. The composite and stone patio, landscaped yard, and the refreshing shade of mature trees make it an ideal spot to enjoy your morning coffee or unwind at the end of the day. The impressive stone foundation basement boasts high ceilings, a laundry area with utility sink, and clean storage space. Conveniently located near Eastern Connecticut State University, downtown Willimantic's restaurants, shops, entertainment, and local events, with easy access to Route 6 and a short drive to UConn. A rare opportunity to own a distinctive property where historic charm and modern comfort blend into an unforgettable place to call home.
First time available on the market since the 70's! This historic fire department (Hilltop Hose Company No . 3) has been lovingly converted into a most spectacular home in the hill section of Willimantic! If you love open space with lots of character, this is the home for you! Large windows allow wonderful natural light to flow throughout the home, on every level. You'll love the high ceilings, original woodwork, and art deco antique light fixtures. This eclectic home features hardwood floors and over 2,000 square feet of living space! The bedrooms on the second floor are so incredibly spacious - there is a lot of room here and the potential to section off the space to create an additional bedroome. The third story is partially finished with a balcony that overlooks the European-like courtyard, and a half bath. This great space was previously used as an artist studio and could also make great hobby space, workout space, office space, or more. The courtyard is easy to maintain and features a composite and stone deck space with wonderful shade from mature trees. Updates include a 5 yr old roof, newer hot water heaters, newer oil tank and furnace. The stone foundation basement features high ceilings and lots of excellent, clean storage space with laundry area, sink, and an additional lavatory area.
