0:00It's April 30th. I'm Cory with the story, and this is Hartford News Today, local news powered by AI. A historic gem from 1908 just dropped on the market in Glastonbury, Connecticut. This colonial revival estate at 1062 Main Street sits on nearly 4 acres and lists for $1,390,000. It's got a main house over 3,500 square feet, with five bedrooms and two bathrooms, plus a guesthouse and a two-story barn. Built for Lewis Howe, the place screams timeless craftsmanship, with coffered ceilings, pocket doors, and a standout fireplace in the living room. The kitchen packs smart stores like a walk-in pantry, and there's even a first floor office loaded with built-ins rare perks for a home this old. Locals call it one of the town's most iconic spots, preserved beautifully by its last owner who held it for 51 years. That dedication shows in the elegant symmetry and sweeping front porch, blending vintage vibe with solid functionality. Upstairs, the primary bedroom has its own fireplace and ensuite bath.

1:03With room to add another full bathroom, the third floor is partially finished, and the flatland begs for a pool, tennis court, or even horses. The guesthouse is fully tricked out with the kitchen and bath, while the barns heated for workshops or studio space. The listing throws in the lot next door at 1050 main, making it prime for expansion. Represented by Michelle Collins at Berkshire Hathaway, this estates ready for its next chapter. History meets potential right here.
