About this property

This is not your typical older home! Built in 1930 for the local doctor, this distinctive Colonial beautifully blends the craftsmanship and character of its era with thoughtful updates for modern living. With just three owners, this well-maintained home reflects a tradition of pride in ownership. An inviting foyer with an impressive staircase welcomes you to hardwood floors, custom moldings, generously sized rooms and beautifully crafted built-ins. The expansive living room features a fireplace and handsome built-ins, while the formal dining room showcases elegant picture-frame wainscoting, perfect for family dinners and special occasions. The updated kitchen offers granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, an electric double-oven range and pantry. An extra-wide breakfast bar opens to the adjoining eating area, where sliders overlook the backyard. A unique feature is the doctor's former office, now a spacious 23' x 18' family room with its own entrance, cathedral ceiling, impressive built-in shelving and a large Palladian window. The home retains the architectural details and quality craftsmanship of its era while incorporating modern conveniences. Located in Moodus, near a reservoir area once popular with summer visitors from New York City and the surrounding metropolitan region, this special property offers a connection to the community's rich history. A tradition of exceptional care has continued through every ownership. About 20 years after the home was built, it was purchased by one of the owners of Moodus Lumber & Coal, who is believed to have played a significant role in its original construction. He and his wife made thoughtful improvements using quality materials and workmanship, including custom Andersen Thermopane windows that tilt in for easy cleaning, enclosing the porch and converting the doctor's office into the family room. The current owner has continued that tradition with a 2020 kitchen update; two new entry doors installed in 2025 ($24,000) with lifetime warranties; a new porch roof, gutters with gutter guards, fresh interior and exterior paint, and numerous additional improvements. The original floor tiles in the full bath remain in excellent condition, a testament to the home's enduring quality. Enjoy summer evenings on the 14' x 19' screened porch, complete with a big-screen TV and refreshing breezes. Upstairs, generously sized bedrooms include a primary bedroom with two walk-in closets. The walk-up, floored attic offers excellent storage and possibilities for a hobby room, gym or home office. Updates to the electrical, heating, plumbing and water systems add peace of mind. Solar panels installed in 2025 produce more electricity than the household uses; see disclosures for details. Looking for first-floor bedroom potential? The expansive family room could offer an opportunity to create a main-level primary suite, with space to explore adding a full bath and walk-in closet. Upstairs, a walk-in closet adjoining the existing full bath may offer another opportunity to create a private primary bath. Buyers should verify feasibility, permits and costs for any proposed modifications. With its blend of historic character, quality improvements and possibilities for the future, this special home is ready for its fourth owner to continue its story.
