One of Bethel's most historic homes....the birthplace of P.T. Barnum. This is a truly special property that has been lovingly restored. Original wide-plank floors, leaded windows, and period moldings can be found in many rooms. The expansive kitchen can host a large farm table or gathering room. Original beams are exposed up to attic height in the master bedroom. The grounds boast a triple-sized lot with a potting shed and horse-shoe pit...plus plenty of room for gardens or pool. The legal studio apartment above the barn includes more than 500 square feet and is perfect for extended family or additional income. All this, and historic downtown Bethel, with its great restaurants, shopping, and train station, are just a stroll away.
