Originally built as the private residence of R E Holmes Esquire in the late 1800's this home was designed by Robert Wakefield Hill who was one of CT's most prominent 19 Century architects and also designed the nearby "Soldiers Monument". The main home is in very nice original condition and consists of 14 rooms, 6+ bedrooms and 3 full baths. On the main level you enter into a grand foyer where you will find a formal living room and library both with period fireplaces and pocket doors, a formal dining room with built ins and attached butlers pantry, kitchen and what could be used as a primary bedroom. Take the grand staircase to the upper level and you will find 4-6 bedrooms, several which are adorned with ornate fireplaces. The detail in the woodwork and the craftsmanship used to build this home is almost a thing of the past. The carriage house consists of 3, 1-2 bedroom apartments and is in very good condition.
