55 Walnut St

A landmark Victorian on 0.56 acres in Winsted, Connecticut, listed at $410,000. Built in 1880 and home to The Maloney Funeral Home since the early 1900s, the 5,016-square-foot property pairs ornate period architecture with a 2,300-square-foot three-story barn and garage, set in a zone that opens the door to a wide range of future uses.

The home

The first floor features spacious rooms that could accommodate a kitchen, pantry, dining room, formal living room, family room, and office, connected by a dramatic curved staircase rising from the front foyer.

The second floor provides ample space for four to five bedrooms, while the third floor holds a generously sized apartment, adding real flexibility to the layout.

The barn

A standout feature here is the impressive 2,300-square-foot three-story barn and garage, offering abundant storage, workshop space, and potential for a variety of additional uses beyond the main house.
