Historic South Windsor Home Restored for $1.45 Million After $1 Million Renovation

South Windsor’s Ebenezer Grant House, a colonial-era building that once detained British General Richard Prescott and William Franklin, son of Benjamin Franklin, has been listed for $1.45 million following an extensive $1 million renovation. Constructed in the late 1750s on a site that originally held a 1695 house, the property incorporates original hand-hewn beams, Georgian paneling and a rare Jacobean-style doorway. Listed agent Jacob Wint notes that modern updates include new electrical, plumbing, asbestos removal and a zoned HVAC system while preserving historic aesthetics.

The 4,480-square-foot residence now offers four bedrooms, two full baths, a half bath, a custom kitchen with professional appliances, and an oversized stone patio. The estate sits on over five acres, featuring an authentic tobacco barn and other historic outbuildings, and is marketed by William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty.
