Step into a piece of local history with this charming 1880s Victorian home nestled in the heart of the village of Niantic. Rich with character and timeless craftsmanship, this one-of-a-kind property beautifully blends historic charm with thoughtful updates, all set against peaceful rural views overlooking surrounding farmland. Inside, you’ll find soaring 10-foot ceilings, original wide pine plank floors, and an abundance of preserved architectural details such as stained glass windows and built-in cabinetry that reflect the home’s storied past. The home’s original summer kitchen has been transformed into a warm and inviting sitting room featuring a large wood-burning fireplace — the perfect place to relax and reflect while enjoying old-world charm. The classic layout also features both a grand front staircase and a secondary staircase leading from the kitchen to the former maid’s quarters, preserving the home’s authentic Victorian character. The finished attic bedroom offers additional flexible living space, while another second-story bonus room — originally used as maid’s quarters — could serve as a small bedroom, private office, reading nook, or library. Outdoor living is equally special, with a wide front porch, a side porch just off the kitchen, and a covered second-story porch accessed from beside the primary bedroom — all ideal for enjoying the idyllic countryside setting and scenic farmland views. Major improvements including replacement windows and roof provide peace of mind while maintaining the home’s historic integrity. The unfinished basement offers generous storage space, and the detached garage includes a heated and air-conditioned second-story office, ideal for remote work, hobbies, or creative pursuits. A rare opportunity to own an important historic home filled with warmth, craftsmanship, and a true connection to the heritage of Niantic.
