50 Wilson Avenue

Own a piece of architectural history with this well preserved, home custom built for one of Torrington's industrial leaders of the early 20th century, now in the estate of a local playwright. It serves as testament to "They don't build them like this anymore." On a charming street of homes, reminiscent of those in Andy Hardy movies of the past, the downtown and parks are a short walk away.Bordered by mature trees, an inviting covered porch leads to the gracious front foyer and grand staircase, bathed in light from leaded glass windows. Architectural details: stenciled walls, crafted plaster crown moldings, large solid oak doors with original brass fixtures and columns that define the living room entry. Flourishes of Victorian plaster scrollwork adorn the ceiling of the formal living room w/ an impressive fireplace of master craftsmanship as center focus. All is the work of timeless, artful sensibilities.A remodeled master bath has a steam unit shower and ample storage. A 3rd story walk up conversion to more bedrooms and a bath remains partially done.Practical living features include a new heating system, hardwood floors throughout, great storage, public sewage and water, retractable awnings, large and dry basement, a modern eat-in kitchen, w/ back staircase to 2nd floor, backyard with raised gardens, parking area, a tool shed and private patio...just for starters.Commercial / residential zoning, even more bang for the buck, for in home businesses . Absolutely a gem!
