54 Water St, Guilford, CT 06437

This house satisfies so many desires. A wonderful Antique home in a terrific location! This 1748 classic center-chimney Colonial home is enhanced by the Greek Revival Style doorway with a double set of pilasters with decorated sidelights in between there is some fanciful wood detailing. High ceilings, antique wide board floors and fireplaces PLUS a 1st Floor master bedroom and full bath are essential elements. At the back of the house is an updated kitchen and greenhouse sunroom. The 2nd floor is accessed via the attractive front foyer stairs or the back stairs. Upstairs are 3 bedrooms, a full bath and a family room that has lots of windows and a laundry alcove. Off the family room is the door to the walk-up attic that is ripe for finishing. The transition from inside to out is by a two-tiered deck and large screened porch. The .77 acre lot has great privacy. There are secret gardens, paths, broad shade trees and enough lawn for sport. There is plenty of room for a future barn, garage and pool. This property is, truly, just one block to the Historic Guilford Green which is a year-round hub of activities: from the simple gathering of friends sitting on the benches to great music concerts and Shakespearian drama. Recently there was a bonfire and fireworks to celebrate a town anniversary! Guilford center is an active and vibrant place with restaurants, shops, the Library, Community Center and churches. The Train, the beach, marina and Yacht Club are within easy access.
