Property Description

This remarkable home is one of Middletown's most valuable treasures. It is considered to be one of the best examples of Georgian architecture and quite the mansion in it's day. It was built in 1742 for Judge Seth Wetmore, a very successful merchant and considered one of the CT Valley elite River Gods, It has exceptional appointments, including stunning wall panelling, refinished original wide plank floors, and all restored original doors in the home. It offers a kitchen with laundry area, breakfast room, formal dining room, Summer kitchen or pantry, an extraordinary family room, referred to as the "Long room", a stunning library, 5 bedrooms, several fireplaces, 2 full baths and a new heating system. The current owner purchased the home in 2007 and has worked tirelessly to restore many of the rooms. It has hosted several Historical Society events and tours. It sits up high on over 2 acres overlooking Middletown and the Ct River. The Wetmore family occupied the home until 1956 when it was purchased by the Green family, both of whom were professors at Wesleyan.
