Unionville, CT—where the houses come with history and a side of quaint, now featuring granite countertops! If you’ve ever longed to live in a home where the walls have seen it all (and probably have stories they can’t legally tell), welcome to 267 Plainville Ave.
Built-in 1870, when “WiFi” was just a distant dream and everyone thought granite was strictly for gravestones, this Colonial beauty now offers the best of both worlds: classic 19th-century charm mixed with modern-day conveniences like a breakfast bar (because we know you don’t wake up early enough for a formal dining room breakfast anymore).
Why This Home is Peak Unionville:
- Charming Clawfoot Tub: Soak in style because who needs jets when you’ve got history?
- Hardwood Floors: These creaky floors remind you that you live in a real house, not a plastic shoebox from the 2000s.
- Granite Countertops: Proof that not everything from 1870 had to stay in 1870.
- 1,200 sq. ft. Detached Metal Building: Workshop? Garage? Ultimate space for dodging your responsibilities? It’s all possible with this massive bonus building.
Need extra storage for all the historical artifacts (or…holiday decorations) that will accumulate over the years? Good news! Farmington Storage, located at 155 Scott Swamp Road, has you covered. Give them a call at 860.777.4001—because even homes with 1,924 square feet sometimes need a little extra space. 📦
Price and History:
Here’s where the home leaped into the future—financially speaking, at least:
- Current listing: $399,900
- In 2020, it was a steal at $259,000. And back in 1989? A modest $177,000. History comes at a price, folks! (Pro tip: clawfoot tubs appreciate faster than the market.)

Property Highlights (AKA, the stuff you want to know):
- 3 Bedrooms, including an expansive Primary Suite with an attached sunroom that screams, “Convert me into a walk-in closet or Netflix binge cave!”
- There are two bathrooms, including one with that iconic clawfoot tub, for your historical reenactments. Just make sure the plumbing stays in 2024.

- Attic space? Yup, there’s more! It’s not creepy, though, we promise—just a great spot for storage or your unfinished novel.
But the real crown jewel? That 1,200 sq. ft. metal building with a commercial garage door. Car enthusiast? Woodworker? Collector of… stuff? Whatever you need it for, this building can handle it unlike your current cramped garage.
