First time being offered in decades! Located in the heart of Central CT's old agricultural community. This was once the home of an active horse & dog show family, that is now waiting to be enjoyed again. The barn has four sections, a ground floor hay/storage area, a covered run-in space (combined = 21'X18'), an interior that has two small stalls with access to the back of the barn that used to be a fenced paddock(20'x18'), feed/kennel area that has concrete slab, working electricity, & water(20'x10'). Many of the cedar posts remain, but you will need to replace the fencing. This would be a great property for horses, small livestock, chickens, dogs or extensive gardening. From the barn you travel up the driveway to a circular path that brings you directly under the oversized carport. There is some exterior storage here & the covered design makes loading/unloading from car to home a breeze. Inside you have one floor living, with 3-4* bedrooms, a semi-open kitchen & dining space, laundry access in a central bedroom location, two baths & a large living room. The living room is likely to become the favorite spot in the house. The oversized space has hardwood floors & a unique stone fireplace that has witnessed many a fire and good conversation through the years. You can enjoy views of your pasture & barn from this room. A spectacular place to watch a snow storm while the fireplace is roaring. It also has direct access to the deck to enjoy the outdoors. There is a large space in the basement that has a tub, as it was used to groom dogs in the past. This space could potentially be converted to a finished area/rec room space. Outside behind the house is an older above ground pool that could be cleaned up and brought back to life, or removed/replaced as desired. That space could also be turned into more pasture, garden or outdoor game/patio areas. There are lots of options & opportunities that are only limited by your imagination & ingenuity. This might make a great rental/vacation/second home type of property with its close proximity to local skiing, biking, riding trails, golf courses, State parks and forests. Commutable to New Haven, Hartford, and Wallingford. NYC, Boston & Newport all being less than a few hours away. 30 minutes to the CT shoreline. You are close enough to easily enjoy Middletown's thriving city life, shopping and amenities. But don't have to stray out of Durham Center for all you basic goods and needs. There's some work to be done here, but its at an affordable price and worth the effort. All offers will be subject to probate approval. No Showings Sundays. *4th room doesnt have a closet but has been used as a bedroom. Closet in hallway could be changed to be accessed from the bedroom.
