About This Home

As of May 2026

Back on the market due to buyer's financial issues. Discover the character and opportunity awaiting you at 86 Linsley Avenue, a versatile property located in the heart of Meriden. This home offers a wonderful blend of historic charm and functional living space, perfect for those looking to create their dream residence or expand their investment portfolio. The home's interior is defined by the high ceilings and generous window placements characteristic of its 1890s craftsmanship, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere throughout. Currently enjoyed as a spacious single-family residence, the property is recognized in town records as a legal two-family home, offering savvy buyers incredible flexibility for multi-generational living or a high-potential investment opportunity. The basement unit would need TOTAL RENOVATION to make it a rentable unit. The property has sustained freeze damage to the plumbing and heating systems. It is being sold in AS IS condition. Convenience is a hallmark of this location, boasting an impressive walkability score that puts local parks, diverse dining, and the Meriden Transit Center just moments away. With its solid bones and "blank canvas" appeal, this home is ready for a new owner to bring their vision to life and build immediate equity in a growing community.
