Another Happy Couple Close on Their Plainville CT Home It started from a phone call generated by a blog I did on short sales in Central CT. The buyer wanted to know all about the purchase process and the time it takes. It was a call that lasted longer than an hour. The reality was I was being interviewed as a potential agent to help them make a home purchase. We looked at only 1 home that was being sold short.   Gary and Marilyn were very specific about what they wanted and their price range was above the normal. Space was important and areas for entertaining as well. We looked at homes for 4 months through the winter and back in early April they found the right home, a 2300 sq ft ranch on 6 acres with a few extra items for pleasure, such as the in-ground pool, exercise room, pool guest...

Another Southington CT Home Sold This Classic Southington CT Colonial, built in 1834 was not a home that would be for just any buyer. This had to be purchased by someone that could appreciate the character of this older home, and not be looking for the amenities and conveniences that are had with its 21 Century counterparts. This home featured a front and back parlor and a library, and a formal dining room, all with working fireplaces; country kitchen with an eat-in area also had its own fireplace. The second floor was a sleeping area with 5 bedrooms; front and rear staircase, and the main bath. The mechanicals of the home had been updated, as was the newer roof. This home will need some cosmetic work, after all plaster doesn’t stay as perfect as wallboard, but the new owners of this Cl...

There was More to This Central Connecticut House Than Anyone Thought   We're getting set to close on one of my listings this week, and the owners, who have been in the hosue over 60 years had a lot of packing to get done. I went by to check on the progress and wa very pleasantly surorised to see that they are almost done. The house itself has a lot of character having been built in 1834.     As I went to a part of the house that I had not seen before, I noticed a door and curiosity got the better of me. Opening the door, it seemed to be a rather deep closet that stretched to the back of the house.  As I looked a little closer, it was apparent that I had found what was once a frequently used room.   As best I could determine, a 2 seater, and I was promoting the house as just having 2 bat...
