276 state st Guilford, CT

Description:

1876 Greek Revival Colonial was renovated in 1928 when a fireplace was added. Now a diamond-in-the-rough awaits new owners. Lovely, level yard with mature shade trees and shrubs. There is plenty of room to expand the house footprint. The barn, with storage loft, has been reinforced. There is room for two cars. The home has had few updates. The electric service is new 200 amp circuit breakers. An important feature of the property is the location in a quiet, fully developed neighborhood within walking distance of stores and shopping centers on Route 1 and the Green. There are pleasant views from all windows of the lawn, trees, homes and school playing field. The school property, abutting the property at the rear, can not be developed except for school uses. The property is outside the historic district but lies between two other historic houses with many others along State Street. The house is well built and has weathered a century of storms without damage except a lost kitchen chimney in 1938.
