Built in 1855 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this classic Colonial is rich in charm and character. Located on a tree-lined street in Stratford's historic district, the home features original wide-plank hardwood floors, a formal front entry with a beautifully detailed staircase, and a traditional layout that offers both warmth and flexibility. The main level includes a spacious living room with a wood-burning fireplace, a formal dining room, and a bright eat-in kitchen with a door leading to a private patio, perfect for outdoor dining or a quiet morning coffee. A full bathroom on the main level adds convenience, while upstairs you'll find three cozy bedrooms and a second full bath featuring a classic clawfoot tub. Recent updates include a full interior and exterior repainting (July 2025) and a new main roof installed in 2021. Additional highlights include a walk-up attic, off-street parking, and a level yard and side yard, a gardener's dream! Situated less than half a mile from the Stratford train station and close to local restaurants, marinas, and all that Stratford has to offer. This home presents a rare opportunity to own a beautifully preserved piece of the town's history, with everyday amenities right at your doorstep. Highest and Best due Tuesday 7/22 at 2:00 PM.
