Stratford, Connecticut

Description:

Step back in time and fall in love with a rare and remarkable circa-1720-1790 antique saltbox, beautifully situated along Main Street in the coveted Putney area, directly across from Boothe park-a setting that perfectly complements the home's deep historical roots. Post-and-beam construction, hand-hewn timbers, & wide plank floors anchor the house in its early American origins, while sunlight streams through, illuminating rooms that have borne witness to centuries of life, laughter, and legacy. 11 generously sized rooms & 3.5 baths, the home unfolds gracefully, offering intimate nooks and welcoming gathering spaces alike. At the heart of the home are four fireplaces, each with its own story to tell. One treasured hearth features 2 beehive ovens, a reminder of a time when meals were prepared by fire and family gathered close for warmth. The historic keeping room invites cozy evenings by the fire, while the rare and evocative birthing room stands as a powerful testament to the home's role in nurturing generations. Every room carries a sense of purpose, history, and soul. The residence includes four bedrooms, one thoughtfully repurposed as a charming library or study. The primary bedroom boasts a custom closet, seamlessly blending modern convenience with period authenticity. Above it all, a walk-up attic-once used for smoking meats-now providing space for the recently added central air! Despite its age, the home has been carefully and responsibly updated to meet todays needs
