53 Old Town Street, East Haddam, CT 06423

53 Old Town Street is more than a house; it is a living chapter of Connecticut history, gracefully updated for modern life, this impeccably preserved (circa) 1747 center-chimney homestead with clapboard facade, restored six-over-six windows, period hardware, and exposed post-and-beam framing sets an authentic tone that continues though out the interior of the home, where a grand sitting room centers on an awe-inspiring eight-foot hearth. Original paneling, wide-pine floors burnished by generations, open beamed ceilings, built-in corner cupboards, and hand-wrought latches complete the historic canvas. A thoughtfully designed wing featuring a vaulted-ceiling primary suite with a spa-inspired bath, blending seamlessly into the home's scale and style. Outside, roughly 24 acres of rolling meadows, whispering woodlands, and fenced pasture with nearly a mile of stone walls and a classic post-and-beam barn only steps from the back door. There are endless possibilities-equestrian haven, boutique vineyard, Airbnb-worthy estate, organic farming, Historic heritage site or a private family retreat. Just minutes from the Connecticut River, Goodspeed Opera House, Gillette Castle , and less than two hours to Boston or New York, this tranquil sanctuary is the perfect country getaway. Request your private showing today. Deeds record that the house was erected by members of the Cone family, early farmers and patriots who reputedly sheltered Continental soldiers on their march to Valley Forge. Handwritten ledgers later describe the barn storing wool for Civil War uniforms and the meadows supplying hay to riverboat barges bound for Long Island Sound.
