About 6 miles south of downtown Hartford in the charming historic village of Wethersfield, you'll find this beautiful and opulent 1873 French Second Empire home. Its common areas and five plush rooms, with their soaring ceilings and light-filled windows overlooking the manicured grounds, have been refurbished in the style of the period.
