THE PITKIN MANSION - An unmatched preservation of the fabric of American heritage & unquestionably one of the finest restorations in New England, the Pitkin house is a true historical treasure. Considered one of the finest examples of pre-Revolutionary architecture in CT. In its early glory, notable guests are said to have been General Washington & Count de Rochambeau. Originally sited in East Hartford, the residence was dismantled & re-erected in 1955 on its present site in Guilford where it is nestled within a nearly 4-acre setting of 300 year old dogwood trees, manicured lawns, & magical gardens. Recognized in 1979 by the National Register of Historic Places, this classic revival is sure to be celebrated by any home lover. First time on the market in over half a century, this is a once in a lifetime stewardship opportunity not to be missed. Contemporary comforts include poured concrete foundation, geothermal system, full house generator, humidifier, central A/C, propane gas, Pella windows, heavy shake wooden roof w/under rubber membrane, hardy board siding, fiber optic cables, irrigation system, security system, city water, & underground utilities, to name a few. Significant upgrades & additions include detached 2-car garage with 1/2 bath & expansive bonus room, pool & pool house, tennis court, & garage barn w/full apartment. Remarkably private off quiet cul-de-sac road. Circular motor courtyard. Broad gambrel roof, 2 handmade English brick chimneys, & double door entry.
