Located in New Britain's West End Historic District, this home has so much potential! A gambrel roofed colonial revival designed by famous architect Walter P. Crabtree , it was featured in Ladies Home Journal magazine in November 1905 as a model home at the time of it's construction for less than $3000. It features a welcoming and eye appealing columned front porch, a pretty bay window in front, hardwood floors, central air, 2 fireplaces, a wonderful light filled front to back living room, a large formal dining room, and a rear sun porch. This is a great value for anyone willing to do the work it needs. Town records indicate 5 bedrooms but current owners removed an interior bedroom wall to enlarge the master bedroom. A great find for the discerning buyer looking for a solidly built early 20th century historic home . Owner and agent are working with directly with lender for short sale approval.
