DESCRIPTION
Fantastic California Bungalow said to be built by CV Mason around ~ 1915 sits on an oversized .75 lot on a quiet street overlooking the downtown. Intricate details abound throughout.
Starting with the exterior, the extra wide Veranda with a Japanese influence wraps around the front and right side of the home and has a built in bench next to the front door. The two car detached garage is supposedly the first garage built in CT specifically for the automobile. There is a basement and a door inside the garage to allow one to work under the car and the floor is the original wood floor.
Inside the home you will first notice the spacious Living Room with its beautiful moldings and trim, built in bookcases with leaded glass doors, and a built-in seat next to the fire place. Check out the views of downtown from the main window. Walk though the French Doors into the Formal Dining Room and notice the details such as a chair rail, great color contrast, dutch door, and base moldings. Off of the Dining Room is also a first floor Office with beautiful woodwork for those who wish to work from home in style. The eat-in kitchen has beautiful white moldings, island area for easy food prep, along with a walk-in pantry w/ built-in cabinets. Don’t overlook the original Ice Door visible in the pantry! There is a breakfast area for informal dining as well. Off of the kitchen are the laundry area and an enclosed porch overlooking the wooded backyard. Walk from the kitchen back into the hallway and you will see the fluted staircase leading you to the second floor. Notice in the hallway the original telephone niche, and hand cranked transoms above all interior doors for natural air circulation. Plaster walls keep the home cool in the summer and warm in the winter. No cracking, very little wall paper, a lot of natural sunlight. The first floor also has two Bedrooms, including the Master Bedroom with two closets, and the second bedroom which is currently used as a den. Both also have ceiling fans and beautiful woodwork throughout. There is also a completely remodeled bathroom which includes wainscoting, chair rail, moldings, and tile shower & floor. Walk up to the second floor and you will find the third bedroom which was originally the “Maids Quarters” with a walk-in closet and more built-ins. There once was a sink up here as well.
