Description

Vintage Connecticut Victorian in lovely and convenient West Norwalk. This is how they used to build, when houses were crafted not assembled. And it’s apparent as soon as you enter. The front hall with all of its elegant original woodwork weaves its own tale. Built in the late 1800s , people didn’t enter the home from heated cars, they rode their horses in the cold New England weather, tied them to their beautiful hitching post out front and entered through the elegant front door to the toasty fire...Vintage Connecticut Victorian in lovely and convenient West Norwalk. This is how they used to build, when houses were crafted not assembled. And it’s apparent as soon as you enter. The front hall with all of its elegant original woodwork weaves its own tale. Built in the late 1800s , people didn’t enter the home from heated cars, they rode their horses in the cold New England weather, tied them to their beautiful hitching post out front and entered through the elegant front door to the toasty fire in the front hall fireplace. This period piece Victorian was a former church. Spectacular stained glass window over staircase. Front has antique well and the original hitching post . The massive driveway is ample for many cars. Gorgeous crown holdings moldings, original woodwork, throughout . High ceilings. This home does need tlc. Wait till you see the beautiful circular stairway. Wonderful for entertaining. Newer In-law suite on first floor. Minutes to highways, shopping and dining, . . . front entrance is absolutely magnificent. . it is currently occupied by elderly owner but can be delivered vacant . It has been a happy home to this family for approximately 40 plus years. Have I mentioned that property has expansive backyard , could be perfect pool site. Call for appointment
