Property Description
A rare opportunity to own and restore one of Deer Hill Avenue's distinctive historic homes. Rich in architectural character and craftsmanship, this impressive residence offers nearly 4,000 square feet of living space with 5 bedrooms, 4.5 baths and remarkable original details throughout. This is a true restoration project, offering an exceptional opportunity for a buyer with the vision to bring a significant historic home back to its full potential. From the moment you enter, the home's history is evident in its exceptional millwork, beautifully preserved hardwood floors, substantial paneled doors, high ceilings and intricate moldings. At the heart of the home, a magnificent sweeping staircase showcases extensive paneled woodwork, detailed newel posts and craftsmanship rarely found today. Generously proportioned rooms, tall windows, decorative plasterwork, grand arched openings, multiple fireplaces and distinctive period details continue throughout. Five generously sized bedrooms offer abundant natural light, with hardwood floors, tall windows and original woodwork carrying the home's character upstairs. Expansive unfinished attic space provides additional possibilities and further illustrates the impressive scale of the residence. The spacious kitchen offers abundant cabinetry, granite countertops, a large center island with gas cooktop and plenty of natural light. Outside, the home's striking architecture is complemented by a slate roof (2013) and copper gutters, decorative shingle work, projecting bays and arched windows. A detached carriage-house-style garage, reroofed in 2018, adds even more character and potential. Set along desirable Deer Hill Avenue with natural gas, public water and public sewer, the property is being offered with its current condition in mind. For the buyer who appreciates historic architecture and is ready to undertake its restoration, this is an extraordinary opportunity to restore and preserve a remarkable piece of Danbury history. ***PROPERTY SOLD "AS-IS" AND IS SUBJECT TO PROBATE COURT APPROVAL.
