Why just own a home when you can own a piece of history? Designed in August 1934 by John T. Ellen while attending the Hartford State Trade School Windsor, it’s first owner John Yaconiello, acted as his own general contractor and completed the home inn 1935. Located in a neighborhood of architecturally pleasing homes showing pride of ownership, you will be able to enjoy all that Goodwin Park and Golf Course offers literally just steps away across Maple Ave or commute easily to where ever work takes you. There is an understated elegance in it’s unique design when compared to other colonial with it’s exterior of old brick and brownstone accents, brownstone vestibule, prominent chimney, and its charming gables and dormers. No need for frequent clapboard painting or vinyl siding to fly off in storms here! It’s as beautiful now as it was when it was finished in 1935. This home is larger than most in the area at 2,808 square feet offering 3 bedrooms and 1 and a half bathrooms. The light and bright kitchen is the heart of this home providing ample counter space for food preparation, granite center island and breakfast bar for casual daily dining, and a unique round stained glass window set in the rustic exposed brick wall which is one of a kind art. Enjoy warm and cozy fires in the large fireplace framed by a bluestone hearth and a white mantle with fluted details located in the spacious living room. The fireplace can also be enjoyed in the large adjoining dining room framed by classic rounded corner passageway but so large as to feel as though it’s an open floor plan. Gorgeous and durable red oak hardwood floors are found throughout the home on the main and upper levels. There is a small nook on the main level which provides a private workspace or area for reading. There is an open 3-season room that can be accessed via the kitchen or dining room that is light, bright, and private which one can purpose for many uses. The upper level offers 3 spacious bedrooms which are served by an updated full bathroom with twin sinks, and large tiled walk-in shower with glass enclosure. You can keep your vehicle out of the New England weather in the convenient attached garage and enjoy the great outdoors on a private and elevated spacious 16 x 22 foot deck. For those with a green thumb the garden area awaits your plans if you’d like to make changes from the perennials that presently flower there. The lower level was originally a game room when built and can be made into additional living space. This is truly a unique and beautiful home.
