This circa 1830 Brick Colonial is one of the remaining historical homes in the town of South Windsor. "OLD" Main Street, located near the Connecticut River and running North to South from the border of East Hartford to that of East Windsor, is the center of the town's historical district. Wood Memorial Library, Ellsworth School, and the nation's oldest continually operating Post Office are located on the street. Minister Timothy Edwards is buried in a cemetery located on Main Street and the town's middle school is named for him. In 1698, Edwards became the first minister for the settlers on the east side of the river and his church was built on Main Street. His son, theologian Jonathan Edwards, was born in South Windsor (at the time still part of Windsor). Ulysses S. Grant once stayed at a home on this street. The town has become less and less agricultural/rural since 1950. This former farming community has been transformed into a suburban town with industrial and commercial districts. The town's population more than tripled between 1950-2000. This stately Colonial set on 1.78 acres of land is truly a diamond in the rough. Perfect for the individuals that love the authenticity and details of a Period Home. 203K Financing is available for this home and a reliable preservation contractor has quotes available for some of the needed repair.
