This One-Of-A-Kind Estate holds many Unique Features and Historic Significance. Situated on a corner lot in Groton Center, 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. Henry Vaughan, the original architect, was one of the key architects for the renowned Washington National Cathedral. 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, 2 Fireplaces, and 3 Laundry Areas. 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.
