About 1653 Main Street
Turn-key luxury on nearly 6 private acres meets irreplaceable New England character. This fully renovated historic estate delivers modern comfort with zero compromises - new structural beams, all-new electrical, plumbing, complete HVAC, and a Generac hookup, so every major system is already done. The chef's kitchen is the showpiece: professional BlueStar appliances, a Miele espresso machine, a two-zone wine fridge, and a butler's pantry. The deluxe primary suite includes reclaimed wood flooring and its own new full bath, and a custom office with built-ins makes working from home effortless. Every room simply feels right - high ceilings, grand millwork, and seven working fireplaces set the tone throughout, perfect for hosting or quiet nights in. A one-of-a-kind central staircase, with its original spiral-turned balusters, anchors the home as a true architectural centerpiece. Set back from quiet, historic Main Street, an expansive stone terrace and retaining walls against landscaped, private grounds - just minutes from town, Bradley airport, and access to NYC / Boston. A rare bonus: this move-in-ready National Register Georgian Colonial (c. 1757-58) is a celebrated Grant family home, connecting it to the family of Ulysses S. Grant. With its own dedicated Wikipedia page, original wood paneling, and one of the finest surviving CT River Valley doorways, it remains an important piece of New England architecture - modern luxury layered over genuine, documented American history.
