The E.A. Huntington home, built in 1717 in historic Beanhill, Norwichtown, with its stone walls, warmly welcomes visitors to 4,100 sq ft of airy space. Set on 3.5 acres of land, this property provides privacy while leaving room for plenty of activities, including an in-ground covered pool, a basketball hoop, soccer, and exploring the land. 4BR w/2.5 baths, can be combined with 2BR cottage rental. The pool is shared between the two listings.
The property is less than a 5-minute walk to the Marriott hotel, an 8-minute drive to Mohegan Sun. A 30-minute drive to Mystic, CT, and about a 40-minute drive to Misquamicut beach in Rhode Island. The drive to Newport, RI is about an hour.
This is the perfect place for a family gathering with plenty of bedrooms and yard space. The main house can be rented in combination with the small 2BR cottage to provide even more accommodations.
The covered in-ground pool is not heated. The pool is open end of May through the end of September, with the season opening and closing being weather-dependent. The pool area will heat up with the sun, but only so much on cooler days.
There is a small gym with a treadmill, rowing machine, weights, and stretch band. Adjacent to that you will find the enclosed back porch with a ping pong table.
You will find plenty of yard space to enjoy nature, play sports, and bird watching. There is also a little pond and a little trail.
The property is overall very quiet because it is set back from the street, providing plenty of privacy. However, with the I-395 passing close by, you will have some traffic noise.
The best way to get around is by car. We provide parking for 4 cars. There is a ride & share lot less than a 4-minute drive by the exit/entrance to the I-395
Baby gates, high chair and pack-n-play are available upon request.
There is a cottage on the same property (separate listing). Look for Spacious 2BR Norwich Cottage.
DOGS: We allow our guests to bring their dog(s) as long as they are fixed and house-trained, and friendly. This is out of courtesy for other guests who might be renting the cottage. Guests are responsible for any damage dogs may cause, and urine stains inside the house will require an extra cleaning fee of $150. All dogs must be leashed while on the property! We do not allow cats.
This is a strictly non-smoking property. A cleaning fee of $250 will apply if guests smoke inside the house.
The bedroom are located on the second floor.
