Description

For only the second time in nearly 200 years, this idyllic 1827 brick church is being offered in historic Wilton Center. Made into a residence and studio in 2003, the property has updated systems and is in two sections. The residential quarters feature a cooks eat-in kitchen with custom cabinets and Wolf stove, two plus bedrooms, one full bath with separate tub, laundry and pantry, and lower section with two large rooms. Custom details throughout, such as compass-star inlaid floor and grain-painted doors, set this property apart. The second section is the church itself which is essentially untouched and magnificent with a huge open main room. The pews and altar have been removed, leaving a main great room of 1400 sq. ft. with 22 ceilings, a large entry hall and a choir loft with access to the steeple where the unique 19th-century double-truss post-and-beam construction can be seen. The church space has been used for the past 20 years as an art studio and workshop for antique and vintage motorcycles. This large open area can be customized to whatever someone wants an artist studio with gallery; great room with primary bedroom suite; etc. the possibilities are endless. Creative and cool, this property is ready for its next chapter.
