    What's special

    This remarkable home is one of Middletown's most valuable treasures. It is considered to be one of the best examples of Georgian architecture and quite the mansion in it's day. It was built in 1742 for Judge Seth Wetmore, a very successful merchant and considered one of the CT Valley elite River Gods, It has exceptional appointments, including stunning wall panelling, refinished original wide plank floors, and all restored original doors in the home. It offers a kitchen with laundry area, breakfast room, formal dining room, Summer kitchen or pantry, an extraordinary family room, referred to as the "Long room", a stunning library, 5 bedrooms, several fireplaces, 2 full baths and a new heating system. The current owner purchased the home in 2007 and has worked tirelessly to restore many of the rooms. It has hosted several Historical Society events and tours. It sits up high on over 2 acres overlooking Middletown and the Ct River. The Wetmore family occupied the home until 1956 when it was purchased by the Green family, both of whom were professors at Wesleyan. It has an interesting history of entertaining famous guests such as Yoko Uno, John Lennon, Aaron Burr, Carolyn Kennedy, Andy Warhol and Greta Garbo. The Seth Wetmore home appears twice in Wallace Nutting's book "Connecticut Beautiful" confirming the significance of the home. This spectacular property backs up to a a land trust and offers a peaceful backyard setting. Located 2 hrs from NY One of the wings of the house has potential for an in law apartment as it had been rented as one for awhile. The current owner removed the bathroom because it was in such disrepair but left the plumbing. The front north parlor was purchased by the Wadsworth Atheneum from the Greens and is part of that museum. They paid to have the parlor restored in the main house.
