163 Washington Road, Woodbury (Hotchkissville), CT, 06798 | $439,000

Excellent opportunity to own a multi-family in Woodbury! 1800s Greek Revival colonial with two residential units and an additional storefront shop. Currently the shop storefront is vacant (previously used as an upholstery shop) and one residential unit is occupied by a solid tenant who has occupied for several years, has no pets and is in month-to-month lease. The second floor unit is vacant (previous long-term tenants moved out in August 24'). The main door opens to a common foyer with a second door to the retail shop. The first floor unit is in good condition with wideboard flooring throughout, exposed beams, galley kitchen, first floor bedroom and full bath with 2nd floor loft bedroom and an additional full bath. The living room opens up to a large back deck shared by both units. The second floor unit can be accessed through a staircase off the main foyer. Up the stairs you will find wide-board flooring throughout, a full bath, kitchen with washer/dryer and two good size bedrooms. Additional space (used as a family room previously) exists in the walkup, finished attic that has wall to wall carpet, cable hookup and heat. The shop has separate electricity from the residences, but it does not have separate heating zone or water/toilet access. This space can be used by an occupant of the two family as an accessory use per town guidelines. Purchase as an investment or owner-occupy and offset your mortgage! Property is one mile away from Woodbury's town center! Known as the Thomas Dawson House, John and Lewis Dawson married the daughters of Ira Thomas, a prosperous local farmer, in a double wedding. Legend has it that the twin trees on the property (one recently succumbed to a storm) were from this time. The Dawson brothers numbered five, and their family rejuvenated the textile industry in Hotchkissville in the mid-to-late nineteenth century. Please see attached National Register of Historic Places write up for the Hotchkissville Historic District. This house is a "contributing" resource within the district. The business next door used to be an associated outbuilding.
