Second Floor 3 bedroom Apartment with large rooms, high ceilings and great natural light in a historic Greek Revival Home in downtown. Located two blocks from the Wesleyan University Campus and across the street from the public library and two blocks from a restaurant filled Main Street. Full. Private 2nd floor sunny apartment of 1849 Greek Revival Brick Home with Italianate details. Wood floors, area rugs, high ceilings, exposed brick in the well lit kitchen and cozy living room space. The house sits on a quarter of an acre lot in the Downtown Village Historic District of Middletown. We are located very close to the Wesleyan Campus as well as Main Street. Guests have access to the whole apartment which has a fully equipped kitchen (including a dishwasher) for enjoying home cooked meals while traveling. The living room has comfy furnishings to enjoy reading, hanging out or watching a movie. The house has basic cable and wireless internet. Guest are also welcome to enjoy our backyard. We love meeting new people from all areas of our diverse world. We travel a good deal too so if we are not in town one of our adult children can look in on guests if something is needed. Several of our children live nearby. We also understand that guests travel for all kinds of reasons and may need or desire privacy and we respect that. Our home is located in the heart of downtown Middletown in the historic district just 3 blocks uphill from the beautiful Connecticut River. This home is on a less active, one way street conveniently situated just 1 block down from Wesleyan University which has a lovely campus as well as constant arts and cultural events. Our huge and amazing public library is on the corner just diagonally across the street, which has up to date movies, music, books, magazines and computer access. We are also just one block up from Main Street which features over 40 restaurants (Including Eli Cannons Pub, Orourke's Diner, Brew Baker's {bagels and coffee}, Klekolo for coffee and you'll find almost any style and nationality of food you can imagine) along with many boutique and other great shops. We have several funky coffee/cafes and even a Fine Resident Chocolatier (Roberto). Middlesex Hospital is just blocks away. And we have easy access to the smaller more rural surrounding towns. There are several great natural areas for hiking and swimming close by (Millers Pond, The Ridge Trail, Wadsworth). There is an artist community here that supports an artists walk on Main Street every first Thursday of the month. As well, we have Kid City Museum, Oddfellows Playhouse Theater, and Wesleyan Potters and a multiplex movie theater within short walking distance of the house. This is really a centrally located property for Middletown and also for Connecticut. We have easy access to Hartford, New Haven, the shoreline, the Casinos. We are half way between New York City and Boston. Middletown is a Rebirthing city on the Connecticut River, just 15 miles south of the capitol city of Hartford and about 25 minutes north of New Haven. It is easy and comfortable to walk or bike around town but for further away trips a car is the best bet. We do have public transportation available on Main Street for in town travel (connections to the major cities) as well as to surrounding towns. But it is not the same or as complex as larger city public transit systems. There is a lovely kitchen if you are a cook and want to prepare a meal you may do so. We ask you to clean up after yourself with any cooking. There is a dish washer as well as cleaning supplies under the kitchen sink. You are welcome to enjoy the yard. There is a grill for the back patio which can be taken out for guest with prior requests.
