This is not your typical older home! Built in 1930 for the local doctor, this distinctive Colonial beautifully blends the craftsmanship and character of its era with thoughtful updates for modern living. With just three owners, this well-maintained home reflects a tradition of pride in ownership. An inviting foyer with an impressive staircase welcomes you to hardwood floors, custom moldings, generously sized rooms and beautifully crafted built-ins. The expansive living room features a fireplace and handsome built-ins, while the formal dining room showcases elegant picture-frame wainscoting, perfect for family dinners and special occasions. The updated kitchen offers granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, an electric double-oven range and pantry. An extra-wide breakfast bar opens to the adjoining eating area, where sliders overlook the backyard. A unique feature is the doctor's former office, now a spacious 23' x 18' family room with its own entrance, cathedral ceiling, impressive built-in shelving and a large Palladian window. The home retains the architectural details and quality craftsmanship of its era while incorporating modern conveniences. Located in Moodus, near a reservoir area once popular with summer visitors from New York City and the surrounding metropolitan region, this special property offers a connection to the community's rich history.
