After an $80K price cut, the 1866 Philip Chapin house is under contract for $595K in New Hartford, Connecticut. 5bds, 3ba. This historic home is a bargain. And, look at that belvedere on top.

This home has been meticulously maintained and preserved.

Sitting room #1 is magnificent. It's simple, but the gold accent gives it all the glitz it needs. I'm sure that the light fixtures are all original.

Sitting room #2 has a lovely built-in cabinet, plus a beautiful fireplace.

Details of the fireplace.

This room, also with an original fireplace, is used as a family/TV room.

The dining room feels transported back in time. Not sure why the wallpaper is peeling off, though.

This is the most incredible kitchen I've seen in a vintage home, b/c it's not a modern renovation. It's almost looks original.

The primary bedroom has a beautiful bed alcove.

And, look at this bath. Flawless combination of old and new. Love that sink.

This secondary bedroom looks like a time capsule. Look at the cute little sink in the corner.

This zinc tub must be original.

The 3rd bedroom is also amazing and has a corner sink, as well.

How great is this? We're up in the belvedere and it lights up via this original lamp.

In the basement is an extensive wine cellar with a loose brick floor.

You can see the lamp thru the window of the belvedere.

The exterior architectural details on this home are exquisite.

And, it also has the original carriage house on 2 acres of land.
