Nestled in the heart of Middletown, CT stands a house of remarkable architectural note, originally commissioned by J. Phelps Ingersoll in 1927. Inside, the residence retains much of its original details. Each of its owners have cared for it with sensitively and grace. Every corner of this special home tells a story of a bygone era; the current owner has cast a discerning eye towards appropriate renovations to modernize and freshen its overall appeal. Upon entry there's a spacious study w/built in shelves and half bath. Pass thru a private entry into your beautifully appointed LR w/ raised paneled fireplace, arched framework over a pair of built in bookshelves & base cabinets. This sun-drenched space is lit w/oversized windows that overlook the backyard & gardens. Celebrate all occasions in the formal DR opposite the living room. There's a pair of built in corner cupboards & wood trim, moldings and access to an original butler's pantry with upgraded storage & glass-front cabinetry. The updated kitchen is a bright, efficient space. There's a back stair access to the second floor 'attic' over the garage. One can easily reach the garage, basement & rear den and patio from here. There's a grand staircase to access the 6 bedrooms and 3 baths on the second floor. There are 4 (counted) bdrms & 2 full baths in the main house block. All mirror the bright and airy decor of the 1st flr. Additional 2 beds & bath are over the garage considered attic space. Outdoors, the grounds & gardens are a sight to behold.
