Experience historic charm and character in the Eustis Brush Home, a rare gem built circa 1760 by Eustis Brush, an emancipated slave who became one of the first former slaves to build a home in Connecticut. This unique property offers a full saltbox floor plan with the original front rooms facing southeast, boasting a large front room with a fireplace and Parson's cupboard. The main level features an updated kitchen to meet today's needs with a working fireplace and side beehive oven, while the second floor includes an exposed original chimney and spacious bedrooms with ample closet space. The home has had two additions over the years, providing even more living space, including a third bedroom and full bathroom. Meticulous restoration efforts by the current owners have preserved many of the original features, such as the two working fireplaces (one with a cooking crane still in use), original heart pine floorboards, and original leaded, hand-blown glass in the front windows. The kitchen restoration replicated flooring, nails, cabinetry, and primitive colors, and the downstairs full bath has been restored with a soaking tub and working antique dry sink. Needed siding and trim work is being completed. This stunning property is a rare find, offering historic charm and modern amenities in one. Don't miss your chance to own a piece of Connecticut history....
