79 Chittenden Rd Killingworth, CT 06419

Built in 1851 by the great-great grandson of one of Killingworth's founding fathers, the Ulysses S. Hull House is a Greek Revival Cape with distinctive eyebrow windows creating an eye-catching and unique facade. The current owners have lovingly restored many original features while updating the mechanicals in this comfortable post and beam home. The first floor features a north and south parlor (living room and family room), a dining room with central Rumford style fireplace and functional beehive oven, a beautifully remodeled kitchen with cathedral ceiling, laundry room, a small bedroom and full bath. A wonderful loft overlooks the kitchen, a perfect reading nook for young ones! The second floor has two more bedrooms, a den and playroom with vaulted ceilings, an unfinished space used for storage/workshop and a full bath. There is a walkup attic and full basement adding plenty of storage. The 2.7 acre lot has the original stone foundations of a former barn and shed, as well as stonewalls outlining the animal pens and grazing pastures of this once thriving farm. An 1850 post and beam barn measuring 30x20 has been relocated from Milford, MI and completes this tribute to the 19th century. 21st century mechanical updates include newer propane furnace, 200 amp electrical service, new septic system, newer well with new pump, and a 10 year old roof. A truly special home in southern Killingworth-rural yet a two hour drive to Boston and NYC.
