299 Palisado Avenue

Windsor, CT 06095

Own a piece of Windsor's living history. The rear of this remarkable home dates to 1780, with a Greek Revival addition built around 1835 by the Thrall family. In 1874, it was purchased as a summer residence by Joseph Rainey of South Carolina - elected to the U.S. House of Representatives. This 2,500 sq. ft. eclectic home has evolved gracefully through the centuries while honoring its origins: wide-board wood floors, unique built-ins, and two staircases tell the story. The layout flows beautifully for entertaining - from the welcoming front foyer into the generous living room with fireplace insert, past the powder room alcove, through the spacious dining room and butler's pantry, and into the large eat-in kitchen with center island, gas stove, and more built-ins. A step-down den with fireplace opens to a private brick patio out back. Upstairs, the primary bedroom offers an impressively sized closet - a rare luxury in a home of this era. Three additional bedrooms complete the floor, one with a connected office and back-staircase access to the kitchen. A full bathroom and walk-up attic round out the second floor. The home is oil-heated with natural gas already connected for the stove and water heater. Roof replaced just two years ago.
