About 220 Thayer Road
Welcome to 220 Thayer Road, a storybook gem where stepping onto the covered porch feels like stepping back in time. Built as a barn in 1740, the structure was renovated and transformed into a single-family home in 1982, preserving the character of an 18th-century Colonial Saltbox. Set on 0.61 acre across from a green, perennial gardens and paths surround the home, just a stroll from Higganum Center. Inside, 2,242 sqft. unfold with sun-filled windows, wide-plank hardwood floors, raised-panel wainscoting and period details. The open eat-in kitchen flows into an elegant dining room with custom built-ins, while the living room gathers everyone around a wood-burning fireplace. Made for celebrating every season, imagine pumpkins lining the porch, Thanksgiving dinner in the dining room, stockings beside the fire and summer evenings in the gardens. A private 1st-floor wing offers 2 bedrooms, a full bath and laundry, ideal for guests, an office or one-level living. Upstairs are 3 bedrooms, a full bath with a double sink and abundant storage. The partially finished lower level 299 sqft. could be a media room, and has a full bath and storage. Features include oil heat, central-air heating, tankless hot water supplied by a 250-gal. underground propane tank, private well, 1,500-gal. septic, 2-car garage, connected storage and a lean-to garden shed. Central-air cooling is not operational and is reflected in the price. A home ready for new traditions and memorable seasons.
