159 North St Willimantic, CT 06226

159 North St. is a shining gem of an authentically maintained 1898 Queen Anne Victorian style home with all of the elaborate details and craftsmanship that defined that era of extravagance and eccentricity. First and 2nd floor rooms are all 9' ceilings with stunning ceiling ornamentation ranging from elaborate patterns of gold leaf to ceiling roses and medallions. Wood inlay around the perimeters of the first floor rooms and 2nd floor hall, stunning workmanship on the brackets, entablature, columns and pedestals of the three porches, stained glass windows, marble faced fireplace, turned staircase, large bedrooms, one of which has been turned into a theater that easily seats 12 are hallmarks of this stately home. The third floor has two more bedrooms, living room and kitchen and full bath and could be an in-law apartment without much difficulty. A walk out basement has a finished rec room, laundry and tons of storage. All of this is within walking distance to bustling downtown Willimantic, bus routes, Eastern CT State University, 10 minutes from Storrs Center and UConn, and easy drive to the Route 6 connector and Hartford or the CT shoreline.
