Description

Built circa 1790, the Richard Butler House is the earliest existing house in the Rainbow section of Windsor. Called Rainbow for the graceful bend in the river that resembles a rainbow, it became the name of this early settlement. The earliest known occupant was Richard Butler, Esq, thus the house has since been known as the 'Butler Place.' This Dutch Colonial has a major center chimney that connects 4 working fireplaces. It is a fine example of a late 18th cen. dwelling w/gambrel roof profile. The...Built circa 1790, the Richard Butler House is the earliest existing house in the Rainbow section of Windsor. Called Rainbow for the graceful bend in the river that resembles a rainbow, it became the name of this early settlement. The earliest known occupant was Richard Butler, Esq, thus the house has since been known as the 'Butler Place.' This Dutch Colonial has a major center chimney that connects 4 working fireplaces. It is a fine example of a late 18th cen. dwelling w/gambrel roof profile. The house was completely renovated 2003-2005 to combine the solid structural bones of this historical house w/all the conveniences of modern living. In the Great Room the gorgeous wide-board floors & huge FP are still there, but so are solid cherry cabinets, prep-island & stainless steel appls. The 2 full baths, 1 up & 1 down, are updated. On the 1st floor one room is a bedroom, 2nd living room & 3rd a mudroom or office. Upstairs are 3 generously sized bedrooms, all w/beautiful old hardwood floors. In the basement is a fantastic walkout family room w/sliders to a paved outdoor patio. This finished room, which has a huge cooking FP that was uncovered in the late 1970's, is the perfect gathering spot for friends/family. Remainder of basement is for storage & laundry. Renovations incl. 4-Zone heating system, updated insulation, newer windows & large storage shed. This is a unique opportunity to live in an historical home w/o giving up the conveniences of modern living - it combines both!
