BETHEL, CT — Bethel's open houses this weekend come with room to create. The headliner is a renovated 1750 antique on Codfish Hill Road with a soaring post-and-beam barn and a second workshop over the garage. The listing pitches that space for woodworking, crafts or an art studio. The rest of the lineup ranges from a 1907 Colonial that hasn't been on the market in 33 years to a detached condo that's only four months old.
Four Bethel homes are holding open houses Sept. 26 and 27, with prices from $500,000 to $850,000, according to Zillow.com.
6 Henry St., noon to 2 p.m. (also Sunday, noon to 2 p.m.) — $500,000. This updated 1932 home sits in the heart of Bethel. The four-bedroom, 2.5-bath home has 2,180 square feet, an updated kitchen and a flexible first-floor room that works as a den or home office. There are also a spacious family room and a large living room. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a primary suite, and the listing highlights freshly painted interiors and gleaming hardwood floors.
26 Codfish Hill Road, noon to 2 p.m. — $850,000. The listing calls out car and motorcycle enthusiasts, collectors, woodworkers and makers, and it's easy to see why. This 1750 antique sits on 3.68 acres, and its post-and-beam barn has soaring timber construction, a car lift, room for several vehicles, workshop space and an upper loft. An oversized two-car garage adds a second workshop upstairs that the listing suggests for woodworking, crafts or an art studio. The renovated three-bedroom, 2.5-bath home has 2,044 square feet and a kitchen with exposed timber beams. It's a few minutes from downtown and Metro-North.
59 Taylor Road, 2 to 4 p.m. (also Sunday, 1 to 3 p.m.) — $750,000. Off the market for 33 years, this 1907 Colonial sits on 2.2 acres in a 1-acre zone. The listing notes the size opens up options such as a possible additional building lot, a family compound or an in-law setup. The four-bedroom, three-bath home has 2,886 square feet, an in-ground pool with a solar safety cover and a large room over the garage that could be a study, home office or family room.
8 Fieldstone Court #8, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. — $775,000. Ready for immediate occupancy, this four-month-old detached condo is in a small complex with a central location. It offers the feel of a single-family home with the ease of condo living. The three-bedroom, 2.5-bath home has 2,277 square feet and 9-foot ceilings on an open main level. The great room has a gas fireplace and sliders to a private deck, and the primary suite is on the first floor.
Make a weekend of it: Saturday's noon-to-2 p.m. slot lets you go from the in-town Henry Street home to the Codfish Hill antique and its barn. Taylor Road's pool and 2.2 acres follow from 2 to 4 p.m. Sunday starts at 11 a.m. with the brand-new condo on Fieldstone Court. After that you can double back to Henry Street at noon or Taylor Road at 1 p.m. for a second look. Whether you're after a workshop, a big yard or a brand-new build, Bethel's doors are open all weekend.
