Ives-Murdock House, Circa 1723. This beautifully maintained, historic gem nestled in a peaceful and picturesque neighborhood. This spacious home, said to be the 2nd oldest in Meriden, exudes charm and character at every turn. Originally part of the North Farms area between Wallingford and Meriden, this property offers a unique piece of history along with modern conveniences. The spacious interior showcases original hardwood floors, high ceilings, and intricate woodwork that reflects the craftsmanship of a bygone era.

The updated kitchen features modern appliances that are all less than 2 years old, providing a perfect balance of functionality and style. Adjacent to the kitchen, the formal dining room is ideal for hosting family gatherings or dinner parties, while the cozy living room offers a relaxing space to unwind by the fire. Upstairs, the generously sized bedrooms offer comfort and privacy, with ample closet space and serene views of the surrounding landscape. Additionally, there are multiple versatile spaces throughout the home that can be used as an office, playroom, or even a library. This property is perfectly situated near a variety of shops, restaurants, and local amenities, making errands and dining out a breeze. Plus, with easy access to major highways, commuting to nearby cities like Wallingford, New Haven, or Hartford is quick and convenient.
