This stunning antique home is for sale! Known as The Bloss house built in 1740 by Thomas Leavenworth, housed young Yale law students, among those was one John C. Calhoun before he made his way to the White House as VP in 1824 under John Q. Adams. Residential and Commercial zoning, this property has amazing opportunities. The home and barn were literally caving in but have been completely restored. Close to $1M in restoration costs to save this stunning property. The almost 300 year old home offers much of its original charm. The kitchen alone boasts a 12 foot long stone that serves as a hearth for the original brick beehive oven and a large Colonial pantry is adjacent to the kitchen with plenty of space to expand your culinary dreams. The original wide planked chestnut wood floors lead you into the authentic Keeping Room that is filled with sunshine from the porch windows. A family room and an office/den resides from there as does a full updated bath. Leading down the grand hallway into the foyer you'll find the Parlor room with its well preserved hand carved mantle framing one of the four fireplaces on the first floor. The large staircase leads you up to the primary bedroom with a sitting area outside, right now being used as a music room. 3 more bedrooms are on the second floor as well as 2 other sitting rooms, a shared full bath, and closets in every room. Storage is not an issue in this house. With an abundance of closets and 2 full attics there is plenty of room! The attics have plenty of room for expansion, too. In 2003 the house was lifted with structural Lally columns as well as all new plumbing and electrical were run throughout. A Viesmann furnace and hot water heater efficiently maintain the temperature throughout the 3 heat zones in the house. They run on propane from the commercial sized tank that is buried in the yard. All new siding and foam insulation throughout most of the house was installed in 2012 and the chimneys were rebuilt exactly as they had been in 1740. All roofs were replaced by the current owners as well. The house on its own is a historical gem, but the property also has the beautiful post and beam barn that is individually listed on the National Registry of Historic Places. The barn has rough-in electrical and plumbing, with new framing, too! It is the perfect canvas for anyone's dreams to come to life. Wedding venue, additional housing, studio, restaurant, bed & breakfast, or whatever your heart desires. If that is not enough the original milk house remains on site and to put the colonial cherry on top the original outhouse is still in the backyard! With dual zoning, Residential and Commercial, the sky's the limit with this property! *Perc test results available upon request.
