This piece of Torrington's rich history has been meticulously restored. Originally crafted by Albert P. Hine for William E. Besse in 1903, the 2,806-square-foot residence boasts four bedrooms and three bathrooms. The home showcases original features such as dual porches, a widow's walk, Lincrusta wallpaper, hardwood inlay floors, and stunning ornamental ceilings. The expansive "Major Room" on the upper floor features a gas fireplace. The kitchen has been updated with granite countertops, heated tile flooring, and high-end stainless-steel appliances, offering a perfect balance between historic charm and contemporary convenience. Adjacent to the kitchen, a private Trex deck with an awning provides an ideal space for entertaining or enjoying a morning coffee. The property also includes the original carriage house, maintaining its historic allure. With potential for light business or bed-and-breakfast opportunities, and zoning allowances for artists to live and work in the same space, this residence offers versatile possibilities.
