"The William Hill House C. 1670" is the embodiment of historic character and warmth. The house was built by
William Hill, one of the original Hartford Proprietors in the Thomas Hooker party. The house was moved to it's current location in 1992. By special permit from the State of Connecticut and the Historical Society, the owners were able to employ modern construction materials and techniques, while preserving all of the original antique features of the home. A split rail fence flanks the gravel drive, past a stocked pond and pasture, to the house and two post and beam barns. One with a rented loft apartment ($13,200/yr.), with an attached horse stall, a workshop and 2 car garage. The second has a 2 car garage with a large walk-up attic. Zoning permits small businesses. Upon entering the home, a taproom captures the imagination of being in an old historic pub, featuring a walk-in fireplace. A keeping room (dining room), also with a large fireplace offers stunning views of stonewalls and gardens. There is also a parlor/library and of course, a "made for entertaining" Gourmet Kitchen. The second floor, has two spacious master bedrooms. There are two additional unfinished bedrooms on the third, which would also function well as an art studio. Located, between New York and Boston, and only minutes from Hartford. This home is a must see! There is truly nothing like it. This home is of historic importance, with all of the modern features.
