Thomas Aldrich House c.1800-1805 Federal Style Colonial in College Hill, tucked away on an oversized 10,023 s/f lot, featuring peaceful grounds with majestic trees that create canopies of privacy and beauty. Paver pathways, a flagstone patio and a picturesque gazebo further enhance the allure of the grounds, along with a detached 2-car garage. This antique Colonial stands out as a singular vision of architectural significance as it was moved in 1949 from Benevolent Street to its current location and placed on a new concrete foundation. To preserve the home's historical character, extensive renovations were thoughtfully undertaken to keep the historical elements of the home intact while incorporating modern conveniences into a versatile floor plan that includes a 2-story addition in the 1990's showcasing a contemporary kitchen featuring sophisticated custom cabinetry, a working center island, solid surface counter tops, stainless appliances and French doors to the fenced backyard and patio. Wide-board pine floors flow through the home, along with elegant millwork and classic built-ins that highlight the home's historic appeal. Eight fireplaces create a warm and inviting ambiance throughout, with windows that stream in abundant natural light. There is a space for everyone in this one-of-a-kind home with two upstairs sitting rooms, enchanting library and private office, not to mention expansive storage. This is the kind of place that feels like home before you ever unpack a box!
