3 Indian Hill Avenue, Portland, CT 06480

*A moment in time*. This is a very rare opportunity to own a piece of Portland History. The Job Bates Home was crafted in or around the year of 1747 and is available for the first time in 53 years. Located near the CT River this home is unique in so many ways. With original features such as wide plank flooring, not one but 2 beautiful original brownstone and fieldstone fireplaces, built in nooks and shelving, hand crafted doors and windows and original foundation that is still very much in tact. There have been some modern updates as well. Like the oiled fired furnace, updated electrical, generator panel and a partially finished addition that adds a bunch of first floor space. With 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths and over 1500 square feet, this property is looking for some renovations to bring it back to its glory. The opportunity to create something special is right here at 3 Indian Hill. While the property is located in the Gildersleve Historic District it is not under the historic registry status. This means that the property has the benefit of possibly being eligable to apply for grant funding for preservation of the structure. While the designation has no strings attached regarding changes or use, if grant funding is awarded it may have specific requirements limiting changes and use. This property could be beautifully restored or torn down. Property is zoned B2. Vol/Page - 740/311 Property is being sold in " as is" condition.
