Description:

Presenting the Munsill Borden Mansion at 2 Wethersfield Avenue, Hartford-a rare opportunity to own a Gilded Age masterpiece. Constructed in 1893 for Mary Borden Munsill, daughter of Gail Borden, inventor of condensed milk, this architectural gem seamlessly blends Queen Anne Victorian and Richardsonian Romanesque styles. Spanning 7,727 sq. ft., the mansion boasts seven grand fireplaces, intricate crown and dental moldings, wainscotting and exquisite stained glass windows. The exterior is adorned with gingerbread trim and a slate roof punctuated by turrets, reflecting the craftsmanship of its era.
