You've driven by, you've noticed and admired. Now you can own a fascinating piece of history. Built by Captain John Isham Worthington, circa 1841, expanded and modified in 1910 by Carl Oscar Hedstrom, inventor of the Indian motorcycle. This Georgian style home is majestically set on 4 rolling acres featuring lush gardens, rare specimen trees listed on the "CT Notable Tree "list, a 4 bay carriage house and a restored 1900's pergola. The entire home - 15 rooms and 3.2 baths encompassing three levels, has been lovingly restored and extensively upgraded by the current owners. There are 7 fireplaces, each with its own story and unique design. The spacious commercial kitchen features a breakfast area with multiple French doors looking out to gardens, and an original butlers' pantry. Period lighting and historically significant architectural details enhance the Parlor, Reception, Living and Dining rooms, as well as the second level 5 bedrooms including an ensuite master, renovated baths and dressing room. Up one more flight to the "Ballroom"/Bonus room and Recreation/Playroom. For outdoor recreation or respite, French doors open to terraces, covered porches and patios. Amenities and upgrades rarely found in a home of this vintage: central air, newer oil burners, newer roof, completely upgraded 400 AMP electrical service, whole-house generator, all original plaster walls and ceilings restored and all newer windows.
