71 Beecher Road
Woodbridge, Connecticut

Description:

The Nathaniel Parks House circa 1706. Originally built in Guilford, CT, and painstakingly relocated to Woodbridge in 1934. This 5 Br, 3.5 bath, retains all of its original character, including wide plank floors, hand-hewn beams, and a striking double-leaf entry framed by fluted pillars and a pedimented gable. Thoughtful rear additions, including a gambrel wing with garage, were added during the move. Barn-style garage doors and a welcoming covered breezeway connect the main home to an additional wing. Inside, a fieldstone fireplace serves as the stunning focal point of the living area, complemented by exposed wooden beams that enhance the home's historic charm. The eat-in kitchen opens to a sunlit family room with soaring ceilings, four oversized skylights, and panoramic views overlooking the serene backyard. The primary suite features a full bath with a whirlpool jetted tub. Step outside to a brick patio overlooking 7.7 tranquil acres and a classic barn-perfect for storage. Mature trees, lush landscaping, and a private setting create a picturesque environment. Large windows and a spacious layout provide generous natural light, multiple gathering spaces, and flexible living options-ideal for entertaining or quiet enjoyment. Modern comforts such as central air, natural gas, and public water blend seamlessly with the home's antique appeal. A rare opportunity to own a historic Connecticut treasure full of character, warmth and elegance, in central Woodbridge, close to Town.
