137 Water Street, Guilford CT 06437

Built by Bille Willard in 1804 this Colonial home has retained the charm and character of the period with three working fireplaces, wide board floors and original beaded corner boards. Step into the Keeping Room through the front door and experience the warmth reminiscent of an 1800s home. The dining room, featuring a parsons pantry pass-through into the first-floor bedroom, offers convenient access from the primary entrance, directly off the driveway. This original section includes two bedrooms and two full baths, one pair on each level. Transition through the pantry off the dining room to discover a later addition, boasting a modern kitchen, family room, bedroom, and full bath. Enjoy the sunroom with sliders that open to a stunning two-tiered deck. The home sits on a beautiful, direct river front lot. The views of the river and the salt meadow are stunning. Launch a Kayak or simply birdwatch from the deck - this is a most attractive spot. Located only two blocks from the historic Guilford town Green this is a special and dynamic property. The home is heated and cooled using efficient heat pumps (6). The house is sited on a .37 acre parcel and is in the R-3 Zone. There is a crawl space under all sections of the house. The front section has two sump pumps and has been encapsulated with a waterproof material.
