77 Broad St, Guilford, CT 06437

Built in 1743 by Isaac Stowe this five bay home with 12/12 sash windows and the six light transom over the front door is a beautiful example of a Guilford Colonial Home. The center chimney home sits slightly up from the street and is enhanced by luxuriant and tasteful landscaping. The home was restored/renovated and enlarged in 2002 creating a home that is so comfortable to live in and has retained its original charm. There are four wood burning fireplaces including the large Keeping Room fireplace with two bee hive ovens. There are original wide board floors, paneling, beaded corner chases, and an original Guilford Cupboard. The renovation gave an up-to-date kitchen with all the amenities a cook/chef could desire and three and a half baths. A very tasteful addition to the house was 10 feet added to the first floor at the rear, south face. The sense of space and light that this addition provides to the Keeping Room and Kitchen is marvelous. The mechanicals are newer as is the roof. A special feature is the two car attached garage with a bonus room above that is accessible from the main house. It has a full bath and provides perfect space for an in-home office, au pair quarters, or an luxurious guest room. This is in addition to the three bedrooms in the main house. Within sight of the historic Guilford Green and located on Guilford's premier Historic street. 77 Broad Street is a dream come true for the lover of historic homes who also likes creature comforts.
