Bloomfield, CT Colonial Revival

This charming old colonial revival in Bloomfield, a very diverse old New England town near Hartford, has a lot of potential and is listed for $229,900. It was built in 1875, and is situated on a large lot, nearly an acre in size. Its previous owner paid $345,000 for it about two years ago (6/13/2006), and Zillow.com estimates that it is now worth $292,000.


A house like this could be a boon for a preservationist. With some time and dedication, the great 19th century charm could be brought back to full force in this house, and the huge yard offers tremendous landscaping opportunities. In its current state, this house could likely be rented for $1,500 to $2,000 per month, making it a possibility for either an investor or an owner-occupant. Totally renovated and restored, however, it could probably command a much higher rent. If you’re into old New England houses, check out this REO in Bloomfield.
