Middletown, Connecticut

The Elisha Fairchild House is a circa 1759 home that has been beautifully preserved and offers the perfect balance of timeless charm and modern convenience. Having passed through only six families over the years, it is not only a historic property but a place where old meets new in a way that feels like home. This center chimney colonial has a trio of massive brownstone fireplaces. In the 1880s an addition to the back of the house was added, including the kitchen and a second-floor chamber currently being used as the primary bedroom. Upstairs are high ceilings and four additional bedrooms, each bathed in natural light, along with two full baths. Although the current owners have only been there a short time, they have updated the home by refinishing the hardwood floors, removing popcorn ceilings, repainting most of the interior, and adding stainless steel appliances to the kitchen. They also uncovered a hidden brick front walkway and updated the electric panel. The home is connected to nature and next to a 56-acre tree farm that offers peace and privacy. This is more than a home-it's a chance to contribute to a legacy and create your own memories within its historic walls.
