194 Hartford Avenue Wethersfield, CT 06109

The stately John Francis Tavern circa 1764 located in the heart of Old Wethersfield. Views of the Cove & steps away from the Village Center! A grand center hall welcomes you into this very special home. The living room & dining room are inviting, sun-filled rooms off the foyer. Both rooms have a fireplace surrounded by the original paneling. The kitchen has a fireplace with a beehive oven, cherry cabinetry & a water view. Because it was a tavern, the study also has a fireplace with beehive oven. The paneling & cupboards surrounding the fireplaces are notably some of the finest in Wethersfield. Wide floorboards, 7 fireplaces & original hardware add to the character that is sewn into every nook of this home.The great room bridges the old with the "new," offering the perfect spot for both everyday enjoyment & entertaining. Two walls of windows flood the space w/ natural light & overlook the very private, fenced yard. It seamlessly transitions into additional living space. Formerly a doctor's office, you can create a home office, a first floor primary suite, or in-law/guest suite, complete with a separate entrance. Upstairs, you will find 4 well proportioned bedrooms, 3 fireplaces, 2 full baths & wide floorboards throughout. More to love...gas heat, high ceilings, new roof, walk-up attic, wine cellar, 2 car garage & carport. Many special features left for your surprise!
