MOTIVATED SELLERS! Built in 1798, 119 Main Street is the third oldest home in Putney. With its original beams, colonial architecture, and location on Main Street, it's a historic gem in waiting for new people to love it. The owner who resided here for many years, took pride in preserving and adding to the beautiful terraced perennial gardens throughout the large in-town lot, which is just under an acre. The flowers were so beautiful that they appeared in Better Homes and Gardens magazine in the early 1900's! When the long-time owner purchased the home, it was very meaningful for her to revive the gardens back to their state of notoriety, which she was successful in doing. The yard is quite private, feeling like you're not right in the middle of the village. The best of both worlds! This home offers a bedroom, full bath, and laundry on the first floor for easy living, leaving three bedrooms and an additional full bath on the second floor. It's in close proximity to I91 and 1.5 hours to Bradley International airport.
