About This Home
Welcome to 1 Library Road, a beautifully updated antique Colonial nestled in the heart of Canterbury's Historic District. Built circa 1807, this classic home combines historic charm with modern improvements on a generous 1.15-acre corner lot just steps from the Canterbury Center Historic District and village green, which features fine 18th- and early 19th-century architecture and cultural landmarks. The spacious living room flows into a formal dining room - perfect for gatherings - while the updated eat-in kitchen boasts granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and plenty of room for daily living. The primary suite offers a tranquil retreat with dual marble-top vanities and refined finishes, and two additional bedrooms share a stylish Jack-and-Jill bathroom with double sinks. Shiplap detailing adds warmth and character to select spaces, and the walk-up attic presents valuable unfinished square footage ideal for a future office, game room, or creative flex space. Outdoors, enjoy a maintenance-free deck overlooking a private, level backyard and fire pit area, perfect for entertaining or quiet evenings. The home has been thoughtfully updated throughout, including modern heating, plumbing, and electrical systems, while preserving its historic essence. 1 Library delivers historic appeal, modern comfort, and standout location - a rare opportunity in one of Connecticut's most charming communities. Be sure to take the virtual tour and prepare to be impressed!
