This One-Of-A-kind Estate boasts many Unique Features and Historic Significance. Situated on a corner lot in Downtown Groton, this former Chapel, owned by the prestigious Groton School, was built in 1887 and converted to a Single-Family Home, maintaining its Gothic Revival Architecture. President FDR attended the Groton School and lovingly wrote to his parents about his time in the Chapel. Designed for Multi-Generational Living, there are 3 Kitchens with Quartz counters, Natural Gas Ranges, and 3 Laundry Areas. The major renovation included a new roof, Central HVAC, 2 fireplaces, and all new electrical & plumbing. A large Apartment is above the 4-Car Garage. The lower level is connected but has its own entrance and includes a Kitchen, 3 Bedrooms, an Office, Laundry, and a Bonus Room. There are 2 Entrances with a Circular Driveway and a Fenced Back Yard. The Low-Maintenance grounds include a covered Paver Patio, a Fire Pit, Stone Walkways, and many Specimen Trees. MUST SEE!
