This lovely old lady features some groovy antique details such as a dumb waiter hatch (or laundry shoot, antique lighting fixtures are juxtaposed by modern conveniences such as a first-floor laundry room, a newer warranted roof, refurbished bathroom on the lower level and above ground pool and hot tub with a blue stone patio and two trex decks.

FYI: This is one of the oldest houses in Meriden built in 1730's by Lazarus Ives, then in the 1740's it was used as a blacksmith shop. During the Victorian era it was considerably changed by multiple owners. In 1933 it was purchased by The Heidel's who contracted a major renovation by prominent Meriden architect Lorenzo Hamilton who won 9th place for renovations over $1000 in Better Homes and Gardens Magazine (Sept. 1934). The cost of renovations in 1933 was $4500.
