Gracious and artful Victorian masterpiece circa 1875, known as the Eugene Chafee House. A signature piece of real estate proudly displayed in the quaint Moodus village district. Enjoy the front or back porch & the beautiful, gated picket fence while hosting on Memorial Day with a perfect view of the parade. This home is nestled into a beautifully manicured perennial oasis of mature plantings displaying a stunning park like setting. Upon entering this specially cared for property you will notice all the fine details demanding respect. To the left is the front to back living room with real masonry fireplace & gas log insert for cozy Winter evenings w/ crown moldings, atrium door to the sunny back porch & patio. The back right side of the home is the updated kitchen with Corian type countertops, stainless appliances, island w/ a window view out the back like no other. A convenient half bath is just off the kitchen. Adjacent to the kitchen is the formal dining room with a pretty wood floor design& French door. A front stairway & back stairway to the 3 bedrooms & 2 full baths on the upper level. One of the 3 bedrooms is a master suite with a full bath. The basement is dry as a bone beautifully maintained with all new mechanics & a walk out with granite step. I especially love the antique farmhouse style workbench. Don't miss this rare chance to own this striking property where art, design and landscape are perfectly aligned. Sidewalks make it a nice walk to nearby stores.
