Stratford’s Spooky 1930 Tudor House on Halloween

This spooky vintage 1930 Tudor style home looks exactly like what I’d imagine when reading the classic tale of Hansel and Gretel. Its beautiful brick, stucco and gingerbread exterior with peaked arches and rounded front door are very charming, drawing you in.

The dark 1930’s woodwork are perfectly maintained, perhaps too perfect. Perhaps only a sneaky witch could live in such a beautiful vintage home this inviting. This 5 bedroom abode last sold for an incredible bargain in 2017 at only $230,000. It’s been said that only a Witch could have negotiated a deal that good. It’s also been said around town that if you listen very carefully when passing by this house on Halloween night, a small voice beckons “Do come in…”

715 Wilcoxson Ave

Do you like 1930’s homes in this style? Then you might like our recent post on a similar home in Stratford here. These beautiful Tudor style homes were popular in the 1920’s and 1930’s, though they were expensive to build, even back then. After World War II, the focus sadly shifted from craftsmanship to building lots of housing cheap and fast to accommodate the post-war boom.

192 Reed Street, Stratford, CT 06614

This wonderful Cape is situated on one of the best streets in all of Paradise Green: Reed Street. This quiet north-end street has seen a lot of buying and selling activity this year, with homes in the area selling extremely fast. According to public records this home last sold for $269,000 in 2018 and appears to have since undergone a serious amount of renovation. The home was listed in September 2020 at $349,900 and appears to have gone under contract in contingency within 3 or 4 days – very fast!

This picture-perfect 1940 home was built during World War II and features 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms featuring 1,373 square feet of living space. This corner lot is surrounded by mature trees and sits on the corner of Reed street and Woodland ave. It’s just a short 5 minute drive to Metro North Stratford station and a 5 minute drive to catch the Merritt Parkway – an ideal convenient location for commuters yet offers all of the peace and quiet of Paradise Green.

Directly neighboring this home on the adjacent corner is 91 Woodland Ave, which is also currently for sale. This neighboring home is a cute 1920 ranch bungalow with 1,181 square feet of living space. It was initially listed for $259,750 but after a price drop is now $235,000. Incredibly, this home was last sold in November 2016 for only $110,000 which was an incredible buy for this neighborhood.
