Homes with a Fireplace for Sale in Glastonbury, CT

Find Glastonbury, CT Homes for Sale with a Fireplace

Glastonbury has one of the deeper colonial-era housing stocks in the Hartford area, and Main Street south of the center reads like a catalog of it. Those houses were built around central chimneys serving several fireplaces at once, and many retain original hearths, paneling and beehive ovens. Beyond the historic corridor, the subdivisions that filled in from the 1960s onward through South Glastonbury and Buckingham carry family room fireplaces as a standard feature. The two groups are very different properties. CENTURY 21 AllPoints Realty knows the town well. Compare regional inventory on the Connecticut page.

Do the newer subdivisions have fireplaces?

Commonly yes. Houses built from the 1960s onward through South Glastonbury and Buckingham frequently include a family room fireplace, either masonry or gas.

What should be checked on a colonial-era chimney?

Whether the flue has been lined, the condition of the mortar and crown, and any structural settlement around a large central chimney. A level two inspection is worth ordering.
