About This Home
A rare opportunity to own a piece of Norwich history! This remarkable Colonial Revival on Washington Street blends timeless architectural character with thoughtful modern updates. This stunning home offers an impressive combination of historic charm and comfortable living, with a current configuration of five bedrooms and four bathrooms. A breathtaking three-story circular staircase with a beautiful glass skylight serves as the centerpiece, while original woodwork, built-ins, and a butler's pantry reflect the craftsmanship of another era. The home has been thoughtfully remodeled while retaining the distinctive details that make it so special. The third floor offers additional expansion potential, with the possibility of adding two more bedrooms and a bathroom, with plumbing already in place. The town card currently reflects five bedrooms and two bathrooms. Outside, enjoy a spacious, well-maintained 1.23-acre lot with patio space and a detached garage. Once home to Helen Lee Gilbert, former National President of the American Legion Auxiliary and participant in the 1945 United Nations Conference, the property also carries a fascinating connection to Norwich's past. Generously proportioned rooms, beautiful architectural details, and a rich history make this an exceptional and truly distinctive property.
