    Historic 1750 "Bailey Homestead" on sought after Greenwood Avenue just a short walk to Bethel's charming downtown for restaurants, shops & train station. Notable owners of this significant home include early Bethel settler Abner Taylor and Luther Holcomb who is said to have stopped the British troops on nearby Hoyt's Hill in 1777 during the Revolutionary War. Steeped in history, yet updated for today, enjoy the wide front porch, inviting backyard with stone patios, spacious barn/workshop with 240-volt EV charging outlet (could be converted to a garage), garden shed, plus mature trees & flowering gardens. Inside, you'll be captivated by the wide board floors, hand-hewn exposed beams, impressive beehive oven, & inviting rooms including the updated kitchen/great room w/sunny dining area. Total 2,167 sf with 3 bedrooms, 1 full/1 half bath, plus partially finished walk-up attic, and full basement. Total 6 fireplaces including the formal dining room, living room, office with built-ins, and cozy library (note: the main level fireplaces are not in use as no liners, but the lower level fireplace is lined and operable). The expansive second level offers the elegant primary suite with sitting room & electric fireplace (excluded but negotiable), spacious dressing room/laundry, & gorgeous updated bath with Carrera marble topped double vanity & jetted soaking tub. Many recent updates including a GeoSpring heat pump water heater, Weil-McLain boiler, and generator hook-up. Very special!
