Description

Once in a lifetime opportunity to own one of Glastonbury's most iconic residences. This magnificent Colonial Revival, commissioned in 1908 as a custom home for Louis Howe, is beautifully sited on over 3.8 PICTURESQUE, LEVEL ACRES as part of an ESTATE that includes the MAIN HOUSE, FULLY EQUIPPED GUEST HOUSE AND A 2-STORY BARN/WORKSHOP. With its sweeping front porch and elegant symmetry of design, it occupies a grand and gracious presence on Main Street, just a short sidewalk stroll to the village of South Glastonbury. The entire interior of this 3548+ sq ft, 5- bedroom masterpiece showcases the artistry and craftsmanship of a bygone era, thoughtfully preserved by its most recent owner of 51 years. Coffered ceilings set the tone throughout, while the living room, dining room, and den unfold through a series of striking pocket doors, each framed in substantial 10-inch casings of quarter-sawn oak and chestnut. In the living room, a Revival-style fireplace commands attention with its sculpted mantel, dentil molding, and tiled surround of richly colored granite. The dining room is unforgettable -- sunlight pours in through bay windows, illuminating beautifully integrated cabinetry and moulding. Rare for a home of its vintage, functionality was clearly a priority, as seen in the kitchen's walk-in pantry, built-ins in the den and first-floor office, and an exceptional number of closets on the main and second floors. Up the main staircase is a landing of significant proportion
