The Chapman House-Brooks Hotel is an elegant Federal-style center chimney colonial built in 1792. Original paneled walls, three wood burning fireplaces, and a surprisingly open floor plan on the first floor with large living room and dining room, remodeled kitchen, a den (the town field card identifies this as a fifth bedroom as it has a large closet and easy access to the first floor full bath-great first floor master alternative!), sunroom and full bath. A front and rear staircase lead upstairs to four bedrooms, another full bath and laundry room. A walkup attic adds wonderful storage but could also be finished for additional living space. A bone dry basement has concrete floors and newer mechanicals. A detached two car garage has newer automatic garage doors. The level yard abuts Field Park, a lovely town park with trails, picnic tables and views of the CT River. Enjoy living in this wonderful historic neighborhood, in one of the most prestigious homes.
