72 North Rd, East Windsor, CT 06088

Whether you’re looking for a unique and truly historic New England home to relocate and restore for residential use, or for business zoned land in a high traffic area, this property is for you! This classic New England home is located adjacent to the CT Trolley Museum. Built in 1800 and constructed with horizontal beams tenoned into hand cut mortises in the main corner posts. The home restoration process began with necessary structural work and is ready for the next level of careful interior restoration or rehabilitation to suit the new owner. Many windows have been replaced with period design windows, portions of the main sill were replaced as needed with marine grade pressure-treated hardwood beams of the same size as originals. The side of the home facing Winkler Road was rebuilt with exact replacement hand sawn wood sheathing to match the original sheathing found under wood shingles. A new architectural shingle roof was installed with period gutters. There is also a newly rebuilt oversized detached garage. The upstairs two rooms feature original hand-cut wide-board wood flooring that was recently discovered during removal of rugs and cleanup for continuing restoration.

The prime location of this property, 3/4 of a mile east from I-91 on State Route 140, is very desirable and, if not restored and occupied as residential, could be a great location for a country store, professional office, café, antique, or other type of local business. The owner’s dream has been for the home to be preserved and restored by someone who appreciates the history, whether it be restored on the current property, or be relocated somewhere else on a new suitable foundation. A lot of the hard work to preserve the original house has been done and it’s ready to be restored to your personal style. The possibilities are endless. Please note that this house is currently not in “move in” condition and is a restoration property for those seeking an original New England 1800's period house not historically restricted, ready for relocation, or for conversion to commercial use. City water, electric, gas accounts are current. Interior appliances removed in preparation for further restoration. Recent certified asbestos inspection and lab tests were negative. City sewers are in the street ready for hookup. Being sold “As Is” and inspection is for informational purposes only. Buyer is responsible to perform due diligence on zoning and the property.
