Manchester, Connecticut

Description:

This is a unique 1930 "English Cottage" style home built in one of Manchester's first designed neighborhoods designated as the "Manchester Green Village." With steeply sloped gable rooflines (new roof and gutters in 2018), private terrace, covered patio and lovely courtyard, the house has a poured concrete foundation, gabled entry and 6/1 windows throughout. The private extended back yard (10,000+ sq ft lot) has brick-edged gardens, mature plantings and rosebushes. The corner lot is framed by an ivy-covered stone wall and steps to the front sidewalk. This 1713 square foot home includes 3 bedrooms, 1 1/2 baths, plenty of closet space (3 in the primary bedroom), walk-up attic, and walk-out terrace on the second floor. The first floor includes a paneled office with wrap-around windows, a sun-filled den, formal dining room with corner built-ins, crystal chandelier and large living room for entertaining. The carved stone mantle and custom brass doors frame a gas fireplace. The eat-in kitchen has a newer refrigerator and well-maintained appliances. The beautiful oak floors throughout this stately home have just been refinished. The finished basement has built in shelves and cabinetry, access to a workshop, laundry, garage and covered patio. The newly installed high-efficiency gas burner (2025) and new chimney liner provide safe and quiet heating to the house, supported by a natural gas Generac generator when needed.
