Welcome to the William Palmer Jr. House, the beautifully preserved 1840 Greek Revival Colonial in picturesque East Haddam. Once a tollhouse on the old turnpike-and later home to the town's original post office and general store, operating from the basement at the turn of the century-this 4-bedroom home is steeped in New England history while offering tasteful, modern updates. Inside, you'll find stunning original wide board pine and hardwood floors throughout, two working fireplaces, wood stove in the kitchen with original beehive oven, plus a classic Rumford fireplace in the basement (not used in recent years). The kitchen features custom-built cabinetry, a large granite island with prep sink, granite countertops, and a professional-grade Viking range-perfect for both everyday cooking and entertaining. Additional highlights include a rare two-fuel furnace, a newly constructed front porch, and a full-length covered porch along the back of the home-ideal for relaxing and taking in the peaceful setting. Situated on 2 acres, the property includes a barn with exciting potential for restoration-imagine a horse-friendly setup, artist studio, or workshop. For those looking to expand, an additional 1-acre adjoining lot is also available. Just minutes from Goodspeed Opera House, Fox Hopyard Golf Course, Devil's Hopyard, Connecticut River and Bashan Lake. A rare opportunity to own a piece of East Haddam's past, beautifully preserved and ready for its next chapter.
