Restoration opportunity in Old Saybrook on 124-acres. Historic house built in 1875 by sea captain. Features include an octagonal tower with views of the Connecticut River and Long Island Sound and front porch with hand carved columns and pilasters. At one point known as Fairview Farm, the house and accompanying acreage, including a manmade reservoir, supplied goods and produce to Hartford. Received later attention as a filming location for the 1971 horror movie, Let’s Scare Jessica to Death. 7 bedrooms, 5 ½ bathrooms, 5,000 sq. ft. Vacant for decades, needs TLC to be restored to original grandeur.
