Discover the charm of New England living in this well - maintained 1840 Colonial, set on an acre in one of Guilford's most scenic and convenient locations. This timeless home blends historic character- with Antique wide plank floors, original millwork, classic lines-with modern updates that support today's lifestyle. Just moments from the East River, peaceful walking trails, and The Salt Meadow Bird Sanctuary. This home offers the ideal mix of nature, privacy, and accessibility. 5 minutes to the Guilford Green, and approximately 1.5 hours to NYC or 1 hour to the Rhode Island beaches. The main level features a warm and inviting flow, highlighted by sun-filled rooms, tall windows, and the natural character only an antique home can offer. The kitchen opens into a charming breakfast nook with wraparound windows overlooking the grounds. A spacious living room and formal dining room provide flexible gathering spaces, while the front foyer showcases beautiful period craftsmanship. Upstairs, you'll find a peaceful primary bedroom, an additional well-proportioned bedroom, and a full bath with a classic claw-foot tub. Laundry has conveniently been installed in the old "3rd" bedroom. A walk-up third-floor attic with original chestnut flooring, could be future living space. Outside, the property includes a detached 1-car garage, complete with a former artist studio which could be re-developed into a
studio, hobbyist, workshop, or office. If you've been searching for a home with history, heart, and a connection to the land around it - a place where morning walks lead to the East River, where the seasons unfold right outside your windows, and where every room feels warm and lived-in - you'll feel it the moment you arrive. Homes like this don't come along often. When they do, they're not just purchased... they're cherished. This is your chance to make one of Guilford's timeless treasures your own. Please note that the house is currently 2 bedroom but in 2000 the owners upgraded the septic to a 3 bedroom system as the laundry room was a 3rd bedroom originally.
