1062 Main Street, Glastonbury, CT, 06073 | $1,390,000

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 providing entry to 5 BEDROOMS, including an ensuite primary bedroom with fireplace, all enhanced by gleaming hardwood flooring. There is a 2nd floor space plumbed for additional full bath, and an entire 3d floor of partially finished framed and floored space with plumbing for a 3d full bath. Outside is a pastoral 3. 8- acre retreat, ideal for future pool and pool house, horses, tennis/pickleball court or simple enjoyment of a private oasis. The GUEST HOUSE boasts a full kitchen, living room, bedroom, fireplace, full bath, basement, and walk-up attic! And the heated barn offers storage and workshop capability, with a second floor suited for recreation or studio. Recent updates include new roof on main house (2020) and guest house (2024), updated electrical. Listing includes adjacent lot 1050 Main St 1. 8 acres.
