About This Home
As of May 2026Back 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.
