847 Asylum Avenue, Hartford CT 06105

The Linus Plimpton House, a jewel of Hartfords historic, and once prestigious Asylum Hill neighborhood, is now available. Exemplifying the grandeur of High Victorian Romanesque style, this brick home has 2 towers and a huge wraparound porch. Original details have been painstakingly restored, including woodwork, hand-painted ceilings and vibrant stained-glass. All systems have been updated and conveniences like central air added. The kitchen is outfitted with a massive island, abundant cabinetry, and a large pantry. The main house includes 4 bedrooms with unique features, one of which, the primary suite, has 2 walk-in closets, and a luxurious bath. The 3rd floor billiard room is a showstopper, with a 14 ft ceiling, stunning fireplace, and a stained-glass window framing views of the city. Two gorgeous apartments, each with separate utilities, complete the home. Its proximity to downtown, Aetna, The Hartford, St. Francis Hospital, and cultural landmarks make it a prized location. Part of a large neighborhood revitalization project by NINA, Inc., The Plimpton House is more than a residence; it is a living piece of Hartfords history with incredible architectural beauty, historic significance, and all the amenities. Seeking a new owner who will occupy at least one of the units, there is a financial incentive to one who lives in the house for 7 years. For those seeking a home with timeless elegance and a rich history, The Linus Plimpton House is an opportunity not to be missed!
