The Levaughn-Arnold House - listed on the State Register of Historic Homes and in the same family since 1877! This Italianate beauty is a full 3 stories of stately grandeur. With 12' ceilings, 2 fireplaces, 2 full baths, hardwood floors, newer windows, boiler, roof and updated electrical panel, this incredible home is just begging for someone to come in to restore it to its former glory. Occupied until just months ago, you can move right in and update the house as you go. Although a stellar single family home in its own right, as there are 3 full stories with front and back stair cases to all floors and separate entrances, this home would be perfect for multi-generational living. Lovely back yard is level and fenced an provides ample space for outdoor entertaining and activities. Home is being sold as is. Town records have home built as 1900 but historical commission records have year built as 1870-1874.

If being purchased as a primary residence (not an investment, second home or vacation home), then buyer's are able to apply for the Historic Homes Tax credit program because of the State Register designation. You can learn more about that program on our website here: https://portal.ct.gov/DECD/Content/Historic-Preservation/02_Review_Funding_Opportunities/Tax-Credits/Historic-Homes-Rehabilitation-Tax-Credit. Although zoning would allow, with special exception, conversion to a two family home, town officials have stated that planning & zoning commission is presently and will continue to deny all such requests. If buyers have interest in exploring this option, please complete all due diligence prior to submission of any offer.
