This historic Victorian home, crafted by Albert P. Hine, became the beloved residence of William E. Besse in 1903. Its meticulously restored late-century architectural design features original elements such as dual porches, a widow's walk, Lincrusta wallpaper, hardwood inlay floors, and stunning ornamental ceilings. The upper floor includes four bedrooms and a full bathroom, along with a spacious "Major Room" featuring a gas fireplace. The second-floor bathroom retains many original fixtures. Upon entering, you're transported to the early 1900s charm, which contrasts beautifully with the modern kitchen equipped with granite counters, heated tile flooring, and high-end stainless-steel appliances. Adjacent to the kitchen is a private, low-maintenance Trex deck with an awning-an ideal space for entertaining or enjoying morning coffee. The property also includes an original carriage house that maintains its historic charm. This home boasts of versatile possibilities for use, potentially zoning back to Light Business for medical, legal, or B&B opportunities, with parking available. Torrington's zoning laws even allow artists to live and work in the same space, enhancing its appeal. This residence is truly a treasure inside and out.
