Unique Opportunity: Historic Home with Views, Modern Updates & Unlimited Potential. This is your chance to own a piece of history and transform it into your dream home. Located on a tranquil 2-acre lot with beautiful views of the Connecticut River, this charming antique property, the "Samuel Clark House" on the Haddam Historic Registry, offers a blend of classic New England character and modern updates. The home has been thoughtfully updated with high ceilings, exposed beams, and plenty of natural light, creating a spacious and welcoming atmosphere. Though it retains its historic charm, the home is far from outdated, with a bright, airy feel that makes it ideal for modern living. The loft space currently used as a bedroom could easily be reimagined as a cozy office or reading nook, while the open floor plan allows for flexible use. The kitchen and front room have been gutted and await your vision and design expertise. This is the perfect opportunity for a creative buyer to customize the home's heart to their exact taste. The unfinished basement offers even more possibilities for expanding living space, with plumbing already in place for an additional bathroom, workspace, and the original fireplace and beehive stove (non-functioning - but very cool!) A new 50-year architectural shingle roof is being installed next week on the house, barn, and shed. Originally 7.3 acres, the property had site work approval for up to a 5000 sq. ft home before being split in 2021.
The roofer is supposed to start this week but weather may prevent that. It MIGHT be on by the weekend or it will be one next week. The wood stove is being relocated between the two living room windows.
