36 Waterside Ln, Clinton, CT 06413

This historic home (circa 1810) in the heart of Clinton blends old-world charm and modern-day comfort. Nestled on nearly an acre of private grounds close to the center of town and just up the street from beautiful Clinton Beach, its stately exterior and gardens display the New England character of the 4-bedroom, 1.1-bath Colonial. That appeal is heightened inside by original wide-board wood flooring, 6 fireplaces, hallways adorned with hand-painted murals, and beamed ceilings. The updated kitchen—with granite counter tops, newer appliances, built-in hutch, and fireplace with gas-burning stove—recently installed oil furnace (2011), and screened-in porch exemplify the home’s conveniences. Extensive built-in bookcases and cabinetry, 12-pane double-hung windows, first-floor laundry room, and detached 2-car garage are added amenities. With opportunities for further renovations, this 19th-century home represents 21st-century attractiveness.
