This classic Colonial Revival home is a testament to historical elegance and meticulous stewardship
Introducing the Henry Bill Selden House, a distinguished National Register property nestled in the charming Pequot Colony. Constructed in 1928 for the inaugural art instructor at Connecticut College, this classic Colonial Revival home is a testament to historical elegance and meticulous stewardship. Upon entering, one is greeted by the warmth of original hardwood floors that lead to a living room adorned with a paneled fireplace, setting the stage for intimate gatherings and cherished moments. The home's recent enhancements, including a sympathetic kitchen extension, have been executed with a profound respect for its architectural integrity, ensuring that each addition harmonizes with the home's storied character. The culinary space is a sun-drenched haven, boasting an eat-in area that spills out onto a vine-draped terrace, inviting al fresco dining amidst the serenity of a professionally landscaped garden. This verdant oasis is a tapestry of low-maintenance perennials, creating a year-round tableau of color and texture. The residence's thoughtful layout includes six well-appointed bedrooms, with the third floor hosting two of these retreats. Skylights infuse the upper level with natural light, illuminating a versatile sitting area, ample storage, and a full bath, crafting a private enclave within the home. For pet lovers, the property comes equipped with an invisible fence, offering peace of mind for four-legged family members to roam freely.
