Description

Own a piece of history! Enjoy life in historic Hotchkissville of Woodbury in this 1836 Greek Revival home. Just one mile from Woodbury's town center, step back in time while being in close proximity to all major conveniences. Currently functioning as a two family property, this unique home can be easily converted to a four bedroom, three bath, 2500sf single family. Experience the old world charms of exposed beams and wide-board flooring, in this 19th Century structure that was once home to one of Woodbury's most prominent textile families! The main level of the home features one bedroom, galley kitchen, a full bath, and living and dining room options. There is also a loft bedroom with its own private bath. The shop, also on the main level, can be utilized for business purposes again by an occupant or convert this space to a fabulous great room as it connects in two ways to the rest of the main level, open floor plan. On the second level, find two more bedrooms with full bath, finished walk up attic as rec room, or office space as well as a bonus room, currently used as a small kitchenette and laundry room, that can be converted to fit your needs. Property is located within a 1 hour and 30 minute drive from New York City. Lots to see and appreciate at this unique property in Connecticut's Most Charming town according to Reader's Digest Magazine. Known as the Thomas Dawson House, John and Lewis Dawson married the daughters of Ira Thomas, a prosperous local farmer, in a double wedding. Legend has it that the twin trees on the property (one recently succumbed to a storm) were from this time. The Dawson brothers numbered five, and their family rejuvenated the textile industry in Hotchkissville in the mid-to-late nineteenth century. Please see attached National Register of Historic Places write up for the Hotchkissville Historic District. This house is a "contributing" resource within the district. The business next door used to be an associated outbuilding.
