Marlborough, Connecticut

On a tract called Sechenayaug, Revolutionary and French & Indian War veteran William Chamberlain built this 18th‑century Colonial, meticulously restored and buffered by rear conservation land. Four floors of living space blend historic fabric with modern utilities. Exceptional wood and stonework—wide‑board floors, exposed beams, plaster walls, beaded and feather‑edge paneling, original hardware and lighting—appear throughout. Seven working fireplaces (two with beehive ovens) serve the kitchen, dining room, great room, two parlors, second‑floor sitting room, and primary bedroom. Entertainers will love the expansive great room, parlors, and full wet bar. Updates include 200 amp service, central air with forced hot air heat, modern insulation, cable, and security. Baths feature tiled walk‑in showers and bidets; the first‑floor guest bath has a ball‑and‑claw tub. The basement offers seven‑foot ceilings, concrete floors, restored stone walls, and massive parged chimneys. A tile-and‑stone wine‑tasting cellar opens to an expansive brick patio wrapped in stone walls—an inviting, character‑rich historic home.
