Be the next steward of this historic, Italianate beauty, known as the Dr. S. Waldo Hart House. Dr. Hart, who lived and practiced medicine in the home, was the son of New Britain's first physician, and was also the second mayor of the city. This home is a unique gem in an up and coming central CT area, with a rich history. One block from Walnut Hill Park, designed by famed architect Frederick Law Olmstead (Central Park, Bushnell Park), and a short walk to the New Britain Museum of American Art, which houses the largest collection of American art in the country, this is a highly walkable location! Walk to City Hall, the library, an array of restaurants, and more. Owned by two artist/designers over the years, the homes has been designed and redesigned, inside and out, and has an enviable style all it's own. Kitchen and baths have been tastefully updated, and original details preserved and accentuated. Listed as an 3 bedroom, there is a potential fourth on the main level. The walkout, heated lower level offers many possibilities, as does the walk-up fourth story. Enjoy the perennial gardens from the wide, covered front porch, or in the back from the balcony or patio area. There is a sizable backyard, perfect for entertaining or relaxing. The property includes a driveway with two parking spots behind the home, and a third at the rear of the property. This is a rare and exciting opportunity to own a very special property! Stop by the open house, or schedule a private viewing.
