A rare opportunity to own a distinctive two-family home combining Simsbury history, comfortable living, income potential, and an exceptional natural setting along Stratton Brook. Tucked away at the end of a quiet residential street yet remarkably convenient to the heart of Simsbury, 22-24 Woodland Street offers the privacy of a neighborhood setting with easy access to the shops, restaurants, library, recreation, trails, and the amenities of Simsbury Center. An original Ensign-Bickford home, the property is part of an important chapter in Simsbury’s history. Ensign-Bickford constructed housing in this area for its employees as the company and surrounding community grew, and Woodland Street remains a tangible connection to the town’s industrial heritage. Today, the property offers something equally compelling: two comfortable and distinct residences under one roof. Unit 22 features 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths, while Unit 24 offers 2 bedrooms and 1 full bath, providing a total of 5 bedrooms and 3 full baths. The units offer comfortable living spaces and kitchens with appliances, allowing each residence to function as a complete and independent home. Basement space provides additional utility and storage, including laundry facilities for each unit, while tankless hot-water systems enhance the property’s functionality, and gas heat and hot water keep the utilities affordable. The versatility is outstanding. Create a multigenerational home where parents or extended family can live close to one another while still enjoying the independence and privacy of separate residences. Or take advantage of the property’s established rental history and operate it as a traditional two-family investment property. The property has been home to long-term tenants, demonstrating its enduring appeal as a rental residence. Outside, the setting makes this property particularly memorable. A large yard provides space for gardening, recreation, and outdoor enjoyment; the current tenants have established gardens of their own, and the property enjoys frontage along Stratton Brook. A special area beside the brook provides a peaceful place to sit and relax, cast a fishing line, read a book, listen to the water or simply enjoy the surrounding natural beauty. It is an unexpected retreat just minutes from the center of town. The location adds another dimension to the lifestyle. Simsbury is renowned for its extensive opportunities for walking, hiking and bicycling, including the Farmington Canal Heritage Trail and Farmington River Trail network. The Farmington Canal Heritage Trail passes directly through downtown Simsbury and forms part of the larger East Coast Greenway. Whether heading out for a morning walk, an afternoon bicycle ride or exploring the area’s parks and open spaces, outdoor recreation is an integral part of life here. At the same time, everyday conveniences are close at hand. Downtown Simsbury offers shopping, dining, the public library, community and cultural activities, parks and recreational opportunities, while the property’s location provides convenient access to major routes and commuter transportation. It is an appealing combination-live on a quiet street beside a brook without giving up proximity to the center of town. With its 5 bedrooms, 3 full baths, appliances, laundry facilities, established rental history, generous grounds, Stratton Brook frontage, and historic Ensign-Bickford connection, 22-24 Woodland Street is much more than a conventional two-family property. With all this property has going for it, it ensures there will always be a market for these apartments.
