3 Indian Hill Avenue, Portland CT 06480

*A moment in time*. This is a very rare opportunity to own a piece of Portland History. The Job Bates Home was crafted in or around the year of 1747 and is available for the first time in 53 years. Located near the CT River this home is unique in so many ways. With original features such as wide plank flooring, not one but 2 beautiful original brownstone and fieldstone fireplaces, built in nooks and shelving, hand crafted doors and windows and original foundation that is still very much in tact. There have been some modern updates as well. Like the oiled fired furnace, updated electrical, generator panel and a partially finished addition that adds a bunch of first floor space. With 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths and over 1500 square feet, this property is looking for some renovations to bring it back to its glory. The opportunity to create something special is right here at 3 Indian Hill.
