8 Hawleyville Road Bethel, CT 06801

Nestled in a historic area of Bethel, you will find this utterly charming show stopper of a vintage farmhouse on Hawleyville Road - the Martin Kellogg Osborn House - 8 Hawleyville Road. Before the twentieth century, most of the roads outside Bethel's downtown area had no official names, and street signs were virtually non-existent. Today, Bethel has both a Hawleyville Road and an Old Hawleyville Road. The irony is that Hawleyville Road is probably older than Old Hawleyville Road. This gorgeous house was built for Martin Kellogg Osborn and his wife Polly Vail Osborn on land inherited upon the death of Polly's father Oliver Vail in the early 1800s. It has been carefully renovated with meticulous care and maintained with pride of homeownership. There is more than plenty of space for a large family especially with the spacious room on the third floor. The property has been lovingly curated with many mature trees and perennials. Two different decks with separate entrances on main level and second level make it easy to enjoy time inside or out. There is also a workshop! You will find many of the plants in bloom when you visit this very special home that is ready to welcome the next family to its front door to make memories that last a lifetime!
