Thoughtfully renovated, this 1890 Victorian village gem is rich in architectural character. Beautifully crafted porches give the home its distinctive presence & serve as gracious extensions of living & dining spaces. Once the residence of Isabella Beecher Hooker & her husband, John Hooker, this home has a notable place in Connecticut history. Original details have been preserved & enhanced with substantial modern improvements, including a new kitchen and baths, a rebuilt front porch and roof, a new granite fireplace and brick chimney, a new propane warm-air heating system, central air, a new Viessmann water heater, and insulated attic and basement sills. The kitchen is well-appointed with a Bertazzoni six-burner gas range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, built-in cabinetry, center island, lit pantry & bar & convenient side entrance. A rear porch provides an ideal setting for grilling & entertaining. Stone walls & walkways are surrounded by established perennial gardens. Additional features include outdoor electrical access, walk-in ground-level basement, & two-bay garage with second-floor space offering potential for a studio, office, or other uses ("as-is"). Ideally situated within walking distance of cafes & the renowned Norfolk Library. Enjoy summer days at Tobey Pond, concerts on the village green, Yale chamber music, nearby hiking trails, and easy access to the Berkshires. A very special opportunity in one of Connecticut's peaceful & most treasured villages!
