Welcome to 5079 Main Street in Stratford. Although many know this home as the Samuel Wheeler House, it was originally built by Philip Wells in 1784 when he became interested in running the old mill at Pecks Mill. This 2 bedroom home tastefully blends historic charm with modern conveniences. Head up the shared driveway to a large 3 car garage with 220 amp service, perfect for hobbyists. Inside, there is an updated kitchen with stainless appliances and granite counter tops. Original fireplaces and beams are still visible throughout the house and add to the antique appeal that only a home with a rich history can provide. Other recent updates include newer siding and windows, 2016 boiler and hot water heater, and a 2019 oil tank. Pecks Mill Pond is just a stone's throw away. Public access to the river is provided across the street where you can sit on the shaded park bench and enjoy the Housatonic River. Be sure to book your showing today!
