***HIGHEST AND BEST IS DUE MONDAY 10-28 AT 5 PM Welcome to 7 Rose Hill Rd, Preston, CT! This historic home, built in 1830 by Sir Isaac Gallup (see historical attachment), is a hidden treasure tucked away down a long driveway. With an impressive 3,100 square feet of living space, this estate features a gunite pool, gazebo, and greenhouse, making it an ideal tranquil retreat in a prime location. Just a stones throw from Preston Community Park, only 10 minutes from Foxwoods, and 20 minutes from Mystic, this property perfectly balances serenity and convenience. Set on 1.28 acres, the home offers 4 to 5 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms, along with a one-car garage, providing ample room to create your dream living space. The outdoor amenities are remarkable, featuring a spacious fenced-in in-ground pool with a hot tub, an oversized greenhouse with a ventilated roof and water supply, a charming gazebo, and five fireplaces! As you step inside, you are greeted by a grand staircase and beautiful hardwood floors throughout. The kitchen is a chefs dream, complete with a large farmhouse sink, stainless steel appliances, and an elegant dining area centered around the homes most striking fireplace. The all-black cooking fireplace includes a built-in pizza oven, wood storage, and original cooking cranes for hanging cast iron pots.

Adjacent to the dining area, a cozy sunken sitting room or office space offers lovely views of the yard. Towards the back of the home, youll find a half bathroom, garage entrance, and a spacious utility/laundry room that leads out to the pool-this area has the potential for a bathroom addition as well. Around the corner, youll discover the butlers quarters, featuring a private staircase leading to the second floor. Upstairs, there are four additional bedrooms, a spacious bathroom, and a walk-up attic with incredible potential! The basement provides ample storage, a workshop area, and what appears to have once been a built-in bar. Outside, the property includes a chicken coop, fire pits, and plenty of space for a large garden or livestock. As you enter the driveway, youll notice an abandoned building owned by the State. This property benefits from low taxes and is in need of updates and repairs, which is reflected in the asking price. Additionally, the property is surrounded by land owned by the State of Connecticut, specifically the Rose Hill Wildlife Area, offering abundant nature and the chance to observe over 20 bird species and local wildlife from your windows. Youll also find chestnut, apple, and black walnut trees on the property. The roof is brand new, and all kitchen appliances are less than a year old, including a Frigidaire Gallery refrigerator, Maytag dishwasher, and Frigidaire Gallery induction stove top oven. The septic was replaced in 2000. Please note that the sale is contingent upon the sellers finding suitable housing, as they are actively searching.
