Description

Introducing a truly special Antique Colonial, rich in history, thoughtfully updated, and beautifully suited for modern living. Ideally located in the sought-after Long Hill neighborhood, this distinctive residence, built by Lucius Burroughs in 1855, blends timeless character with the comfort and functionality today's buyers seek. From the moment you step inside, the home feels open and welcoming. With over 2,200 square feet, soaring ceilings, gleaming hardwood floors and oversized windows, natural light fills each room, creating an airy and uplifting atmosphere. The main level offers gracious flexibility. Just off the primary living spaces, a versatile room works well as a family room, playroom, or mudroom. Nearby, a first-floor bedroom sits adjacent to a full bath-ideal for guests or multigenerational living. An additional bedroom on this level, includes built-ins and a closet and may function as a bedroom as originally designed, or as a tv room/ den, library, or home office (see floor plan). At the heart of the home, the spacious kitchen features a timeless color palette and abundant storage, flowing seamlessly into the grand dining area, perfect for gatherings both large and small. The living room with access to the side porch is anchored by a gas fireplace, creating a warm and inviting space to relax. A graceful sweeping staircase rises to the second floor, adding both character and architectural charm. Upstairs offers three generously sized bedrooms and a full bath, plus a walk-up attic with small side room, begging to be finished- a perfect opportunity to create additional living space and instantly increase the home's square footage and value. Outside, enjoy a level, professionally landscaped yard, with cedar fencing for privacy and everyday enjoyment. A charming side porch offers the perfect place to tuck away with your morning coffee, while the expansive bluestone patio creates an ideal setting for entertaining or simply relaxing with family. Completing the property, a 2-car post-and-beam garage with electricity, adds authentic period character and features a loft space ready to become a studio, workshop, or creative retreat of your own. Adding to its appeal, the home offers a true walk-to-town lifestyle. Enjoy community events right from your doorstep - from the annual parade to the town green's tree lighting, summer concerts, art festivals - and stroll to the main library, local restaurants, grocery shopping, and the Pequonnock Valley Trail for walking, biking, and outdoor recreation. Enhanced by public water and sewer and natural gas fuel, this home has been thoughtfully maintained with improvements including Hardie Board siding, updated windows, water heater, and roof. Blending timeless charm with modern reliability, it offers the ease of moving right in and enjoying all that this home-and the town of Trumbull-have to offer.
